Abstract
A module includes a plate spring and a substrate. The plate spring includes a fixed first end and extends from the first end in a first direction. The substrate includes an electrode that contacts a second end of the plate spring opposite the first end in response to a first point of the plate spring being pressed by a pushbutton switch being pressed and does not contact the second end in response to the first point being not pressed. The plate spring further includes a first bend between the first point and the second end. A direction from the first bend to the second end and a direction from the first point to the first bend are opposite in a component along the first direction.
