Abstract

A sealed electrical contact assembly comprises a dielectric frame in which a plurality of aligned stationary electrical contact members are secured as opposing sets of contact members and movable electrical contact members interconnect each set of stationary contact members. One of the opposing sets of stationary contact members and the movable contact members have mateable pivot areas at which the movable contact members are mounted so that the movable contact members can be moved to a position electrically connecting the opposing sets of stationary contact members. A membrane is sealingly secured onto the frame covering each set of stationary and movable contact members associated therewith.
