Abstract:
1. A switch assembly movable between a closed and open position, said switch assembly comprising: a multilayer circuit comprising a first layer comprising opposed first and second surfaces, said first layer having a first conductive material disposed on said first surface thereof and a protrusion extending from said second surface thereof, a second layer having a second conductive material disposed thereon, and a third layer disposed between said first and second layer, said third layer having an opening therein to permit contact between said first conductive material and said second conductive material when said switch assembly is in said closed position; and an actuator configured engage said protrusion to provide force to said first layer to permit said first conductive material and said second conductive material to contact in said closed position and to enable separation of said first conductive material and said second conductive material in said open position.
