Abstract
A solderless motion switch uses an electrically conductive spring having two outer sections (with a greater diameter than an intermediate section) which rest on a surface having electrical connectors (such as a circuit board) in a rest mode. In the rest mode the intermediate section is suspended over an electrical connector in a motion mode, the intermediate section moves into contact with the electrical connector to close an electric circuit with an electrical connection between one of the outer sections and another electrical connecter. The spring is placed into contact with the surface without use of solder or mounting and is held positioned in place, during both the rest and motion modes, by a barrier, the assembly of which can be completed after the spring is positioned on the surface.
