Membrane Switch Manufacturing and Supply
Membrane switches are used in consumer
and industrial applications requiring a input pad device.
Membrane switches are low cost, considered reliable, and are
available in custom or off-the-shelf configurations. By
fabrication several layers of polyester (PET) or plastics
and onto a printable conductive electronic circuits
and a graphic overlay, membrane switches offer product
developers a flat keypad type interface system as opposed to
classic mechanical type keypads. Membrane switch assemblies
are great space and weight savings alternative to mechanical
keypads.
Manufacturers and suppliers of membrane
switches fabricate assemblies using flexible plastic
membrane material , domed or flat mechanical type switch
devices and tactile and non-tactile type switches.
Membrane switches are used within industry and products for
numerical keypads, graphical keypads, keypad control panels,
and membrane switch overlays. Below, is a typical
membrane switch assembly.
