Abstract: A portable electronic device may have an inverted dome switch assembly. The switch assembly may have an inverted dome that has a base and a conductive underside. The base may be attached to a button member. Two electrical contacts in the button member may face the conductive underside. Corresponding conductive traces may be connected to the contacts. The dome may bear against a housing member. The button member may be movable with respect to the housing member from an unactuated position to an actuated position. The dome switch may form a footprint based upon the dome base area. The housing member may extend into a portion of the footprint and not into the remaining portion of the footprint allowing that space to be otherwise utilized.

Abstract translation: 便携式电子设备可以具有倒置的圆顶开关组件。 开关组件可以具有倒置的拱顶，其具有底座和导电的下侧。 基座可以附接到按钮构件。 按钮构件中的两个电触点可面向导电底面。 相应的导电迹线可以连接到触点。 圆顶可以抵靠住壳体。 按钮构件可以相对于壳体构件从未致动位置到致动位置是可移动的。 圆顶开关可以基于圆顶基座区域形成足迹。 壳体构件可以延伸到占地面积的一部分中，并且不延伸到占地面积的剩余部分中，从而允许另外利用空间。
