An insulating tab attached to an electronic device driven by a battery includes a first insulating layer, a first wiring that extends in a first direction along the first insulating layer, the first wiring including a first electrode on one end thereof and a second electrode on the other end thereof, and a second wiring that extends in the first direction along the first insulating layer, the second wiring including a third electrode on one end thereof and a fourth electrode on the other end thereof. The first and third electrodes are disposed on opposite sides of the first insulating layer at a first location of the first insulating layer along the first direction.

A high power, single-use electrical switch includes a spring-biased plunger contact that mates with a corresponding socket contact, a spacer that provides a separation clearance between the contacts prior to activation of the switch, and a shear tab that supports the spacer and is removed from the switch to enable engagement between the contacts and activation of the switch. Using the shear tab for activation of the switch enables a compact and small form factor assembly that is suitable for use in smaller electronic assemblies.

A protective bag into which a mobile device can be placed to limit exposure of the device to unsanitary conditions or conversely to limit exposure of other surfaces to an unsanitary mobile device. The protective bags are distributed to users using a dispenser. The system improves overall hygiene associated with use of mobile devices.
