The tact switch is widely used in electric and electronic products. The dome type tact spring is produced by stamping. Stamping of the tact spring and operation of the tact switch have been simulated by the elasto-plastic finite element method. The operating characteristics of the switch may be given by the relation between the operating force and stroke. For a given material, this is affected by two main factors. One is the geometry of dome spring which is determined by the geometry of stamping dies and the stamping pressure, and another one is the dimension of switch. From the calculation, it was possible to obtain the stamping conditions and switch dimension for a predetermined force-stroki relation And, the hoop stresses and effective strains distributions due to the stamping and during the operation of the switch indicate a possibility of cracking in the center and rim of dome spring.
