Abstract

An actuator sheet carries clusters of switch actuating projections aligned with openings which receive deflectable contacts of an array of diaphragm switches. Intersecting ribs are carried on the same side of the actuator sheet as the switch actuating projections, to define isolation zones for the projections corresponding directly to the individual key areas of the keyboard. Integral, raised pressure pads for each key area are formed on the upper surface of the actuator sheet to enhance even pressure distribution over the pertinent switch contact area.
