Abstract: A switch assembly has a housing with a passage extending along a longitudinal axis. A plunger positioned within the passage is movable along the axis relative to the housing between an extended position protruding a first axial distance out of the housing and a depressed position protruding a second axial distance out of the housing less than the first distance. A magnetic biasing device biases the plunger towards the extended position. The magnetic biasing device includes a first magnetic member secured to the housing and a second magnetic member secured to the plunger and movable with the plunger relative to the first magnetic member. An electrical component positioned within the passage has a pair of terminal members and a sensor.
