Tactile Membrane Switch with Gold Plated Metal Domes

What Is A Membrane Switch?

A membrane switch, also known as a membrane keyboard, adopts an overall sealing structure composed of the plane and multi-layer combinations. New electronic components fundamentally change the appearance and design of electronic products. They can replace the buttons of conventional discrete components and perform the tasks of the operating system more reliably.

The membrane switch panel is a rigid or flexible printed circuit board as the base, which is installed with a touch or no touch button, and then covered with a plastic (polycarbonate PC, polyester PET, etc.) film panel printed with a colorful decorative pattern. It is a new man-machine dialogue interface, an electronic component that integrates switching and decorative functions. The connection between the switch circuit and the whole machine can be made by welding or plugging.

The Benefits Of Membrane Switches:

• Small and light: The weight of available membrane switches ranges from a few grams to dozens of grams, which is very easy to carry and disassemble.
• Sealing: Using unique technology, the membrane switch can be waterproof, oil-proof, anti-pollution, anti-static interference, and perform other functions.
• Excellent electrical conductivity: the circuit of the switch can be printed with carbon paste, silver paste, copper and platinum, etc., and the conductive layer can be folded at will, and the resistance can be controlled to any resistance you want, and, using a unique technology, the film made of The switch can even receive high-voltage electric shocks of hundreds of thousands of volts without impairing its function.
• Low cost: Compared with an electronic original device product with many functions, its price advantage is not comparable to other similar products.
• Long service life: Because the material used in the membrane switch has good insulation, heat resistance, folding resistance, and high resilience, the printing of the pattern is printed on the reverse side so that the screen printing pattern will not be damaged.

The Features Of Membrane Switches:

1. Graphic Overlay: Polyester is frequently used to make graphic overlays because it has better chemical resistance and flex life than polycarbonate. To ensure you receive the right colors, textures, and finishes for your Silver Flex membrane switch design, Luphi can either digitally print, screen print, or use a combination of both techniques.

2. Circuitry: The polyester film (PET), with good performance, is used as the carrier of the switch circuit pattern, and the conductive silver paste and conductive carbon paste are screen-printed on it with a unique process to make it conductive

3. Emboss: The three fundamental types of embossing are poly-dome, rim, and cushion. Logos and multi-level shapes can be embossed depending on their shape and size. Additionally, buttons can be embossed to offer a more tactile definition.

4. Backlighting options: A wide variety of backlighting options are available, LED, Light Guide Film (LGF), Electroluminescence (EL), and Fiber Optics.

5. Environmentally Sealing: A membrane switch can survive harsh conditions in the toughest environments. Such as UV resistant, temperature resistant, and chemical resistant.

6. Shielding: To comply with ESD, EMI, or RFI regulations, proper shielding is required.

The Most Common Types Of Membrane Switches

Capacity: We print the capacitive touch buttons/sensors on the PET circuit with transparent conductive ink.

Medical: These membrane switches meet the ROHS standard.

PCB/FPC: The circuit of membrane switches can be flexible or rigid.

Rubber: Silicone Rubber keypad switches are excellent for device operation controls. It is soft and elastic. It can give the user a very nice tactile feeling.

Waterproof: Meets IP67 and NEMA-4 waterproof standards.

Backpanel: back panel membrane switches or membrane keypads are flexible. Therefore, assembling it on top of any machine, equipment, or device is possible.

Backlighting: LED backlighting, EL lamp, LGF(Light Guide Film), and Fiber backlighting.

Tactile Feedback: Tactile switches can be embedded into membrane switches and offer a snap-action feel to improve tactile feedback.
