Compression activated switch device for led circuit boards

A compression activated switch device, comprising:

• a support;
• an electrical switch positioned on the support, the electrical switch biased to an open position from a closed position;
• a biasing element positioned on the support, the biasing element including:
• a switch press element operatively positioned to engage the electrical switch;
• a base element positioned on the support, adjacent the electrical switch;
• and
• a compressible component positioned between the switch press element and the base element, the compressible component defining a predetermined amount of force;
• a coupling component positioned on and contacting the biasing element;
• a fastener extending through the coupling component, the biasing element, and the support, respectively, the fastener applying a force to the coupling component to compresses the compressible component of the biasing element,
• wherein in response to the force applied by the fastener exceeds the predetermined amount of force, the switch press element forces the electrical switch into the closed position.

A compression activated switch device, comprising:

• a support positioned on a structure;
• a light emitting package positioned on the support;
• an electrical switch positioned on the support, the electrical switch configured to be:
• operatively coupled between the light emitting package and a power source, and
• biased to an open position from a closed position;
• a biasing element positioned on the support, adjacent the electrical switch;
• a coupling component positioned above and contacting the biasing element;
• and
• a fastener extending through the support, the biasing element, and the coupling component, the fastener applying a force to the coupling component to compresses the biasing element,
• wherein in response to the force applied by the fastener exceeds a predetermined amount of force, the electrical switch is moved into the closed position via the biasing element.
