Abstract: A switch and a method of manufacturing the switch are provided. In one embodiment, the switch comprises a switch assembly adapted to receive a first force in a first direction; and a protective member arranged on a substrate and adapted to receive the switch assembly, the protective member comprising a spring portion applying a second force to the switch assembly in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, the switch assembly being adapted to be moved relative to the substrate in response to the first force exceeding a predefined threshold value. The switch is capable of absorbing excessive energy by a force applied on the switch, thus preventing the excessive energy breaking the substrate to which the switch is mounted.
