Abstract

A membrane horn switch has a flexible thin front plate and a rigid thick back plate. The plates are coated with a conductive layer which are separated by dielectric material applied to either or both plates. The plates are attached together around their perimeters using a pressure sensitive adhesive. The switch is attached directly to an airbag cover, eliminating the need for external backing other than that which is provided by the rigid back plate of the switch.
