Customizable Surface Mount Keypad Dome Switch For Hairfoil Device

Customizable Surface Mount Keypad Dome Switch For Hairfoil Device

Advantages

• Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive to produce than mechanical switches.
• Quiet Operation: They tend to be quieter than mechanical switches, which can be a desirable feature in certain applications.

Disadvantages

• Limited Lifespan: While durable, they can wear out faster than mechanical switches depending on usage.
• Less Precision: The tactile feedback may not be as pronounced as in mechanical switches, which could affect user experience.

Key Features

1. Durability: They are designed to withstand a significant number of key presses, making them suitable for high-use applications.

2. Compact Design: The low-profile design of dome switches allows for slim device designs, making them ideal for portable electronics.

3. Tactile Feedback: Dome switches provide a noticeable tactile response when pressed, which enhances user experience by confirming the input.

4. Dome Shape: The switch typically consists of a metal dome that collapses under pressure, creating a short circuit to indicate activation.

5. Variety of Types: Dome switches can be found in various configurations, including different actuation forces, sizes, and materials.

Applications

• Keyboards: Used in membrane keyboards for tactile feedback.
• Remote Controls: Common in TV remotes and other handheld devices.
• Appliances: Found in microwaves, ovens, and other home appliances.
• Industrial Equipment: Used in control panels and machinery interfaces.

Specification:

1)Material (for front or face overlay)

Polyester:

1.Highly versatile for embossing

2.Highly resistant to chemicals

3.Better durability

4.For internal and external use, UV resistance

Polycarbonate:

1.Different surface(Glossy, Matt) and thickness(From 0.12mm~2mm)

2. cost-effective in price

2) Embossing

Rim embossing/pillow embossing/dimple embossing

Graphic overlays can be embossed in order to insert domes/LED, leave space for mechanical keys/LED and provide tactile indications and better tactile feeling.

3)Windows(for display function)

1. print different colors windows, As transparent grey/Red/green window for display

2. Clear/Transparent window for LCD display

2. Matt/semi-transparent window for LED

4)Keys/buttons

Tactile keys---with metal dome or poly dome

Non-tactile--silver printing dots with flat key

5) Embeded LEDs

Small, brilliant lights only about 0.02’’ in height. Avaliable in several vibrant colors.

LED colors: white, yellow, orange, green, red, or double colors LED.

6)Cable

It is an extension of the printed circuit and is used to communicate with your device.

7)Types of connector

1.Zero insertion force (ZIF) connector; 2.Female connector; 3.male connector

8) EMI / RFI / ESD Shielding

use an aluminum foil shielding / a clear ITO electrical conductive polyester

9)Adhesive

mostly used are 3M-double-side glue

10)Backplate-

in aluminum, polycarbonate, acrylic, PCB
