Abstract

Abstract A keyboard comprising a flexible-foil printed circuit in which an insulating foil or sheet substrate is provided with printed conductors and contact surfaces, in which the insulating foil sheet is provided with holes, and which includes a plurality of press buttons or keys associated with the contact surfaces, each key comprising an elastically deformable snap-action element which is adapted to be deformed upon actuation by means of an actuating button in order to bring the contact element into contact with the contact surface. The flexible-foil printed circuit comprises an insulating foil substrate having a thickness not exceeding 0.6 mm which is provided on both sides with printed conductors and on one side with electrical contact surfaces and/or contact elements. The conductors may be formed in separate printing steps for each side of the foil or sheet. Contacts extending through the holes in the substrate may be produced by means of the printing step itself during the printing of the conductors.
