Abstract: There is provided an elastomeric switching device (10) for use with electrical circuits, such as those located on or connected to a printed circuit board (20). The elastomeric switching device comprises an elastomeric pad (40) constructed from a plurality of parallel strips of conductive material (42) sandwiched between layers of non-conductive or insulating material (44) together with a moveable conductive connector (50) which is aligned with the elastomeric pad. The elastomeric pad is predisposed in contact with the circuits or circuit traces (20, 22, 24) located on the printed circuit board. The moveable connector includes a moveable conductive contact (56) and a flexural diaphragm (52). The moveable conductive contact establishes electrical connections between the affected circuits via the conductive strips of the elastomeric pad. A housing maintains the proper alignment and orientation of the elastomeric pad and the moveable conductive contact relative to the circuits or circuit traces.
