Abstract

An integrated pad switch has conductive contacts that may be embedded in a flexible substrate to form a wiper contact. The flexible substrate is backed by a foamed elastic block and mounted on a driver. The wiper contact moves across the surface of a hybrid circuit substrate having an electrical circuit to provide the desired switching function.
