Membrane
Switches We currently
specialise in the low to medium volume manufacture of flexible and
rigid membrane switch panels.
The membranes offer such features as:
Tactile and non-tactile switches
Secret-till-lit legends and icons
Tinted Filter display windows
Key and Feature embossing
Interchangeable legends
Die cut apertures
Selective UV cured textures for enhanced
chemical resistance
Water clear or anti glare LCD display
windows
RFI/ESD shields using both silver conductive
ink and ITO sputtering techniques.
Our membrane switch panels are produced almost
exclusively from polyester based materials offering excellent environmental
performance under the most exacting conditions. Tactile response
can be provided by stainless steel domes or thermally formed polyester
"polydomes". Environmental sealing and electrical terminations
can be provided to suit your enclosure and electronics.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS
Switches and circuits are printed with a high
silver content conductive ink onto 0.125mm polyester.
Connections with female connector fixed on
the flat cable type terminal, or connection by insertion of the
flat cable into a female connector mounted on the card to be connected.
Design is protected by the front panel, generally
about 0.25 or 0.175mm thick.
Practically unlimited shape possibilities.
Adhesive film on reverse for quick mounting.
Coloured or non-coloured transparent areas
for the display system or LEDS to preserve the sealing.
Circuit resistance according to the circuit
length and the track width: generally lower than 200 ohms.
Operating voltage generally lower than 24 V
- maximum: 50 V.
Normal operating current between 1 and 5 mA
- maximum: 30 mA.
Maximal contact bounce : 5 ms.

Travel:
Flat switches: 0.15mm - 0.20mm.
Tactile switches: 0.50mm - 0.90mm according
to the embossing size.
Contact during the pressure time.
Operating force of 1 t 3 N proportional to
the switch dimension and the switches type (flat or with tactile
effect).
Dustproof and waterproof.
Operating temperature between -25C and + 65C.
We can help you with all types of membrane switches:
flat, with sensitive touch guide, tactile effects, with or without
female connectors.
We can also supply switches mounted on plastic or metal panels.
