The present invention relates to an electrical multiple stage switch assembly 1 comprising an assembly casing, a first component carrier, and at least one multiple stage switch 21, comprising a first convex disc contact 21 a, at least one second convex disc contact 21 b, and an actuator means. The first and second disc contact 21 a, 21 b are positioned with their centres substantially aligned, and said first and second disc contact 21 a, 21 b are adapted to flex into an electrical connection when the actuator means is pressed and to flex back into a non-electrical connection when the actuator means is released. The switch assembly comprises one second component carrier 13 for each second disc contact 21 b. A controlling member comprises a controlling part 31 a for each switch 21, and a controlling member is positioned between the component carriers 12, 13 in a way so that each disc contact 21 a, 21 b is facing a controlling part 31 a. The controlling part 31 a comprises a spacing member 32 adapted to limit the smallest possible distance d between adjacent component carriers 12, 13.
