Edge Abuttable Switches

The Xymox edge-abuttable switch line enables designers to abut any two or more switches while maintaining continuous center-to-center key spacings.

For example, two switches, a 4x5 (20 key) keypad and a 4x4 (16 key) keypad can be placed edge-to-edge to make up a continuously spread 4x9 (36 key) keypad. The switches are edge-abuttable on all three non-tailed sides. Turning the 4x5 (20 key) keypad 90° creates a completely different switch arrangement.

Edge-abuttable switches make it easy for a designer to incorporate stock switches into new products requiring membrane switches because of the hundreds of continuous spacing configurations that can be made from the large selection of the edge-abuttable switches offered in this catalog.
