We investigate the electronic transport properties of a bilayer graphene flake contacted by two monolayer nanoribbons. This finite-size bilayer flake can be built by overlapping two semi-infinite ribbons. We study and analyze the electronic behavior of this structure by means of a tight-binding method and a continuum Dirac model. We have found that the conductance oscillates markedly between zero and the maximum value of the conductance, allowing for the design of electromechanical switches.
