Membrane Service
Keytouch specializes in developing and manufacturing custom membrane switches, designed to meet specific customer needs. These flexible, space-saving switches are highly reliable, durable, and suitable for harsh environments. They are easy to install and available in two options: one with a metal dome for tactile feedback, and one without.
The switches can integrate LEDs, electroluminescent backlighting, and electronic shielding. They consist of two main layers: a flexible printed circuit board with conductive paste and a graphic front layer for a professional appearance. Membrane switches maintain the qualities of front panels, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The Dome Panel features a metal dome laminated into the panel, providing tactile feedback for the user. Key technical specifications include:
- Thickness starting at 0.6 mm
- Over 1 million metal dome operations
- Compressive force range: 1.5 N – 9 N
- Temperature range: -55°C to +85°C
- Maximum voltage: 50 V
- Maximum current: 100 mA
This solution ensures reliable performance with positive user feedback.
