Switch assembly for an electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing comprising a face surface, a sidewall extending from an edge of the face surface, and at least one support rib extending from the face surface, the sidewall comprised of at least one aperture, the at least one aperture aligned with the at least one support rib;
• a substrate seated in the housing, the substrate comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and an edge surface extending therebetween;
• an actuator subassembly in juxtaposition with the sidewall, the actuator subassembly comprising at least one actuator and at least one plunger opposite the at least one actuator, the at least one actuator received in the at least one aperture;
• a dome subassembly in juxtaposition with the actuator subassembly, the dome subassembly comprising at least one collapsible dome, the at least one collapsible dome in abutment with the at least one plunger;
• a switch circuit panel subassembly positioned off of the substrate in juxtaposition with the dome subassembly, the switch circuit panel subassembly comprising at least one open circuit area, the at least one open circuit area in alignment with the at least one collapsible dome;
• a set of contact pads carried on the substrate;
• and
• a set of contact arms carried on the switch circuit panel subassembly, the set of contact arms in abutment with the set of contact pads and deflected thereby so as to electrically connect the switch circuit panel subassembly to the substrate.
