[0002] As a common electronic component, key switch is widely used in various electronic devices, and its core function is to realize the on-off control of circuit through mechanical contact. The traditional key switch is usually composed of a shell, a pressing assembly, a terminal and a conductive part, but there are still many problems in practical application. For example, the assembly structure of the existing switch cover and the rubber base is relatively simple, and lacks effective limiting and reinforcing design, which can cause parts to loosen due to stress deformation or vibration after long-term use, affecting the contact stability. At the same time, the terminal assembly is usually designed in a split type, which has complex assembly process and large contact resistance, resulting in reduced conductivity efficiency. In addition, the selection of traditional moving piece material (such as ordinary metal) is prone to elastic fatigue or oxidation due to frequent pressing, which shortens the service life of the switch.

For example, although the use of multi-stage buckles or independent limiting parts can improve assembly stability, it reduces assembly efficiency. The split terminal design is convenient for maintenance, but the precision requirement of riveting or welding process is high, and contact failure is easily caused by assembly error. In addition, the contact mode between the moving piece and the terminal is usually single-plane contact, which is prone to wear or deviation under frequent pressing, resulting in unresponsive on-off response, and even false triggering problem.
