Abstract: A miniature snap action switch comprises a movable spring sheet which is pivotally supported to a common contact member for movement with a snap action into and out of contact with a cooperative fixed contact. The movable spring sheet is plated with a precious metal such as silver, gold, or an alloy of each at a portion to be pivoted to the common contact member as well as at a portion for contact with the fixed contact for improving electrical conductivity at the respective interfaces and at the same time defining on the movable spring sheet a movable contact of extremely reduced thickness. Accordingly, the movable spring sheet can be dispensed with a conventional contact tip of rather bulky configuration to thereby enable the entire contact assembly to be made in a greatly reduced dimensions particularly in the direction of the thickness of the movable spring sheet, resulting a very compact arrangement of the miniature switch.
