Abstract:
Implementations of a multi-pole dome switch configured to simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, close or open two separate circuits are provided. In some implementations, a multi-pole dome switch may comprise a tactile metal dome and a conductive insert that are separated by an insulator. In some implementations, when the dome is depressed, the dome and the conductive insert are configured to simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, make conductive contact with two traces of a first circuit and two traces of a second circuit, respectively, positioned thereunder on a PCB. In this way, the multi-pole dome switch is able to simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, close two separate circuits. Succinctly put, in some implementations, the multi-pole dome switch may be configured to act as a double-pole, double-throw switch.

Claim (Index 8):
A multi-pole dome switch configured to be positioned on a printed circuit board having a first circuit and a second circuit, the multi-pole dome switch comprising:\n a conductive dome configured to make conductive contact with a first trace and a second trace of the first circuit when depressed, the conductive dome comprises a centrally located bore that extends therethrough; and an insulator having a conductive insert positioned on an underside thereof, the insulator is configured to prevent contact between the conductive insert thereof and the conductive dome, a portion of the insulator extends through the centrally located bore of the conductive dome and positions the conductive insert thereon to conductively connect a first trace and a second trace of the second circuit when the conductive dome is depressed.
