Abstract

An irreversible power switch which is operational from the outside after lamination of laminated communication device and the like, includes a substrate, electrodes disposed on the substrate, a brittle member disposed so as to face the electrodes and apart from the electrodes and a conductive adhesive portion disposed on the brittle member at a side to face the electrodes thereof. The electrodes and the conductive adhesive portion are irreversibly and electrically bonded by brittle fracture of the brittle member under the external pressing force in the thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

Claims (24)

1. A switch for a laminated communication device, comprising:

a substrate;

an electrode disposed on the substrate;

a brittle member disposed so as to face the electrode and apart from the electrode; and

a conductive adhesive portion disposed on the brittle member at a side to face the electrode thereof,

wherein the electrode and the conductive adhesive portion are irreversibly and electrically bonded by brittle fracture of the brittle member under an external pressing force in a thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

2. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , wherein a metal wiring or a metal film is disposed between the brittle member and the conductive adhesive portion.

3. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the electrode and the conductive adhesive portion is from 0.05 to 0.1 mm.

4. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the electrode and the conductive adhesive portion and the metal wiring or the metal film are irreversibly and electrically bonded by brittle fracture of the brittle member under an external pressing force in the thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

5. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the brittle member is made of ceramic.

6. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the brittle member has at least either one of cut-out, through hole, groove and notch in a thickness direction so as to easily cause brittle fracture under an external pressing force in the thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

7. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive adhesive portion is a conductive adhesive sheet.

8. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pressing member of the conductive adhesive portion disposed on a laminated film surface at an opposite side of the substrate.

9. A laminated communication device, wherein the switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 is used.

10. A laminated communication device, wherein both the switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 1 and a reversible push switch are used.

11. A switch for a laminated communication device, comprising:

a substrate;

an electrode disposed on the substrate;

a brittle member disposed so as to face the electrode and apart from the electrode;

a conductive adhesive portion disposed on the electrode; and

a metal wiring or a metal film disposed on the brittle member at a side of the electrode thereof,

wherein the electrode and the conductive adhesive portion and the metal wiring or the metal film are irreversibly and electrically bonded by brittle fracture of the brittle member under an external pressing force in a thickness direction of the laminated communication device.

12. The switch for the laminated communication device according to claim 11 , wherein a distance between the metal wiring or the metal film and the conductive adhesive portion is from 0.05 to 0.1 mm.
