An overload protection apparatus configured to isolate a medicament syringe pump force sensor from overload forces applied to a medicament syringe plunger, the medicament syringe plunger presenting a thumb press, the medicament syringe pump force sensor being operatively couplable to the thumb press for measuring driving forces applied to the thumb press, the overload protection apparatus comprising: a dome switch presenting a dome switch longitudinal axis and a dome switch width measured along the dome switch longitudinal axis, the dome switch being shiftable between a dome switch extended configuration and a dome switch collapsed configuration, the dome switch presenting a dome switch width being shiftable between a dome switch width extended dimension and a dome switch width collapsed dimension, the dome switch width collapsed dimension being less than the dome switch width extended dimension, the dome switch operatively engageable with the medicament syringe pump force sensor at a dome switch engaging surface operatively coupled to the thumb press for transmitting an axial piston driving force to the dome switch and shifting the dome switch between the dome switch extended configuration and the dome switch collapsed configuration; structure defining a dome switch receptacle for receiving the dome switch and orienting the dome switch longitudinal axis generally aligned with the axial piston driving force, the dome switch receptacle presenting a dome switch receptacle end wall and a dome switch receptacle operating depth measurable along the dome switch longitudinal axis between the dome switch receptacle end wall and the dome switch engaging surface when the dome switch is in the dome switch extended configuration; and a plunger stop operably coupled to the structure defining the dome switch receptacle for operatively engaging the plunger thumb press, and operatively limiting travel of the plunger relative to the structure defining the dome switch receptacle such that the dome switch receptacle operating depth is at all times greater than the dome switch collapsed dimension. a dome switch presenting a dome switch longitudinal axis and a dome switch width measured along the dome switch longitudinal axis, the dome switch being shiftable between a dome switch extended configuration and a dome switch collapsed configuration, the dome switch presenting a dome switch width being shiftable between a dome switch width extended dimension and a dome switch width collapsed dimension, the dome switch width collapsed dimension being less than the dome switch width extended dimension, the dome switch operatively engageable with the medicament syringe pump force sensor at a dome switch engaging surface operatively coupled to the thumb press for transmitting an axial piston driving force to the dome switch and shifting the dome switch between the dome switch extended configuration and the dome switch collapsed configuration; structure defining a dome switch receptacle for receiving the dome switch and orienting the dome switch longitudinal axis generally aligned with the axial piston driving force, the dome switch receptacle presenting a dome switch receptacle end wall and a dome switch receptacle operating depth measurable along the dome switch longitudinal axis between the dome switch receptacle end wall and the dome switch engaging surface when the dome switch is in the dome switch extended configuration; and a plunger stop operably coupled to the structure defining the dome switch receptacle for operatively engaging the plunger thumb press, and operatively limiting travel of the plunger relative to the structure defining the dome switch receptacle such that the dome switch receptacle operating depth is at all times greater than the dome switch collapsed dimension.
