Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a dome switch comprising first and second terminals and a collapsible dome that is movable between a relaxed state in which the first and second terminals are not electrically coupled and a collapsed state in which the dome electrically couples the first and second terminals; a flex circuit comprising a flexible dielectric film and a plurality of conductive traces, wherein a first conductive trace of the plurality of conductive traces is electrically coupled to the first terminal; a first spring contact member that is in physical contact with the first conductive trace, wherein the flex circuit comprises a first surface that faces the first and second terminals and a second surface to which the first spring contact member is attached; and a circuit board comprising a first conductive pad, wherein the first spring contact member is positioned between the first conductive pad of the circuit board and the first conductive trace of the flex circuit in a compressed state.
