Abstract (en)
An electrical switch assembly comprises an insulative base (10) having a power conductor plate (12) mounted thereon and terminating in means (14) for connection to an electrode (not shown). A pair of contact pins (16,18) are embedded in said base and provided with means for connection to a power source. Pin (16) is in electrical contact with and securing said plate to said base; pin (18) projects through an aperture in the plate. An insulative casing (34) encloses said base and plate, and a resilient conductive contact dome (36) is mounted on said plate over pin (18) and projects through the casing. The dome (36) is capable of contacting said second pin upon being depressed, whereby current from said power source is delivered to said electrode.
