Abstract
A B-surface seat occupancy sensor unit () comprises a support plate () having a top surface () and a bottom surface, a plurality of spacer elements (), which define an upper surface () of the unit. The top surface of the support plate is arranged recessed the upper surface. A first foam pad () is disposed between the spacer elements on the support plate. A recess () formed in the top surface of the support plate, underneath the first foam pad, accommodates a second foam pad () carrying a pressure-responsive membrane switch (). The recess has a depth exceeding the total height of the pressure-responsive membrane switch and the second foam pad. The pressure-sensitive membrane switch projects laterally beyond opposite edges of the second foam pad.
