[0002] With the development of science and technology, electronic devices are increasingly miniaturized and multifunctional, and the requirements for internal components, especially switches, are also increasingly high. Traditional mechanical switches are relatively large in size and are easily affected by dust and moisture, leading to poor contact or even failure, which limits their application in compact or environmentally sensitive electronic products to some extent. In addition, many modern electronic devices require switches not only to achieve simple on-off function, but also to provide multiple feedbacks according to different operating forces to meet more complex human-machine interaction requirements.

[0003] Currently, there are single-section thin film switches on the market, which solve the problems of traditional mechanical switches to some extent, but their functions are relatively single and cannot meet the demand of multi-level operation. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a new type of thin film switch that can realize two-level or multi-level control in limited space and has good dustproof performance.

[0004] Based on the above background, the present application proposes an innovative design of double-section normally closed dustproof thin film switch, aiming to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a switch solution that is both small and has good dustproof effect and multi-level control capability.

[0033] The basic principle is that only the outer contact one and the outer contact two are disconnected when pressed lightly, and the inner contact one and the inner contact two are disconnected at the same time after further applying pressure.
