this embodiment second set of connectors 15 are electrically isolated from the adjacent conductor 12 or 14 by a pad or layer 52 referring now to fig9 switch 10 in another preferred embodiment has a single four pin connector 54 that provides for a simple coupling to an external circuit connector 54 is coupled with conductors 12 and 14 to provide a single point ease of connection and disconnection with the external circuit as shown in fig1 switch 10 in this preferred embodiment is an array of switches 10 a 10 b and 10 c stacked in parallel with conductors 56 58 60 and 62 separated by insulative strips 16 conductors 56 58 60 and 62 can be shared common conductors or alternatively conductors for separate circuits in this embodiment strips of insulation 16 reduce the dimensions of the air gap between conductors and thereby increase the sensitivity of each switch from 10 a to 10 c the application of a force in a direction approximately perpendicular to face 22 of conductor 56 displaces each conductor 56 58 60 and 62 but that displacement will bring conductors 60 and 62 into contact first due to their reduced air gap the application of additional force.
