Abstract
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a continuous-length switch that comprises first and second electrodes. The method comprises covering at least a first surface of a first electrode with an insulating material. Then, a portion of the insulating material from the first surface of the first electrode is removed so as to provide an exposed portion of the first electrode. And then, a second electrode is placed on the insulating material and over the exposed portion of the first electrode.
Claims7
A method for manufacturing a continuous-length switch, comprising:
- extruding an insulating material to a uniform thickness onto a periphery of a first continuous-length plate-like conductive material, thereby providing a first electrode covered with an insulating material on a first surface thereof;
- removing a portion of said insulating material from said first surface of said first electrode along a longitudinal direction of said first electrode so as to provide an exposed portion of said first electrode;
- placing a second electrode on said insulating material and over said exposed portion of said first electrode;
- and
- extruding a jacket of insulating material around said second electrode and said insulating material such that a protrusion is formed over a central portion of said second electrode.
