This construction provides tactile feedback from the elastomer and the carbon puck serves as the shorting element for traces on a printed circuit board.
In some applications it is preferred to have a rubber keypad for the user interface rather than a membrane switch graphic. Xymox offers multiple construction options when a rubber keypad overlay is required.
This construction provides tactile feedback from the elastomer and the carbon puck serves as the shorting element for traces on a printed circuit board.
This construction provides tactile feedback from metal or polyester domes. All of the switching is part of the sealed membrane switch with circuitry exiting via a circuit tail. Having tactile in the membrane switch allows for a thinner construction when compared to a tactile elastomer.
This construction provides tactile feedback from the elastomer. Printed shorting pads on the membrane switch serve as the shorting element for traces on a printed circuit board. The membrane switch is sealed, which is an advantage since the rubber elastomer is porous and oils can penetrate.
Many factors contribute to the life expectancy of a rubber keypad, from the material used to the tactile feedback. The material can also affect printing options.
3/4 inch center to center tactile feedback keypads are ideally suited for use in most membrane switching applications where user feedback is essential. They offer the user good spacing for easy finger placement in key areas, as well as offering the designer good flexibility in faceplate design.
