Abstract: An interface includes a base with locking flanges for securing the base to a second structure within a vehicle. A plurality of switch caps are pivotably supported on the base and extend through apertures formed in the base. Each switch cap has a first surface and a second surface such that pressure applied to one of the first surface and the second surface causes limited rocking motion of the switch cap and actuation of a corresponding momentary contact switch.

Abstract: A switch assembly (20) comprising of a base portion (22), a flexible pad (24), a paddle (26), and at least one button (28). The flexible pad (24) has a first dome (44) and a second dome (46). The paddle (26) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and has a first end portion (64) and a second end portion (66). The first end portion (64) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24). The second end portion (66) of the paddle (26) is positioned adjacent to the second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24). The button (28) is slidably attached to the base portion (22) and is capable of contacting the paddle (26). The first dome (44) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when a user applies a first force (FA) to the button (28). The second dome (46) of the flexible pad (24) is capable of collapsing when the user applies a second force (FB) to the button (28), the second force (FB) being greater in value than the first force (FA).
