ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A membrane switch construction and method for making same. A plate of relatively rigid, flat material is coated with an insulative cover and electrical conductors are formed thereon. A membrane of flexible, plastic material with conductors formed on the underside thereof overlies the plate. A non-conductive spacing means interposed bet- ween the conductors has holes in register with the conduc- tors. The spacing means normally holds the conductors in spaced, non-contacting relation. The conductors are mov- able through the holes in the spacing means in response to pressure on the exterior of the membrane. One or the other or both of the sets of conductors may comprise two tiers of conductors separated by an isolation layer of non-conductive material. Holes are appropriately positioned in the iso- lation layer to permit access to the buried tier of con- ductors. Interconnect holes may also be provided in the spacing means to permit electrical connection between the conductors, thus forming a multi-layer conductive system.
