Switch Technology


Description • Elegant design


- Unique backlighting solution with seamless overlays allow for easy cleaning - Unlimited cosmetic options including colors, textures and backlighting • Robust and durable


- No moving parts to wear out; can sense through the protection of glass or thick plastic overlays - Resistant to harsh chemical exposure, the effects of EMI and contaminants on overlays - Can be sealed and protected from environmental effects


Capacitive Sensing


• Design flexibility - Circuit can be constructed using polyester, polyimide or PCB and can be mounted to curved surfaces - Shape and size of buttons can be tailored to customer specifications


• Extremely reliable contact system withstands even the most rugged commercial environment • Dome designs are produced with auto-placement in mind to ensure product reliability • Lightweight and low profile; easy to integrate into smaller and thinner packages


Metal Dome Arrays


• Extremely resistant to shock and vibration; excellent for commercial applications • Durable to meet the needs of rugged and high-usage applications • Can be shielded to offer protection against static discharge and EMI/RFI


Membrane Switches Non-Tactile


• Extremely reliable contact system that withstands even the most rugged commercial environment • Dome designs are produced with auto-placement in mind to ensure product reliability • Can be shielded to offer protection against static discharge and EMI/RFI


Membrane Switches Tactile


• Allows addition of simple electronic components onto the flexible switch substrate, which often eliminates the need for an additional LED or display board mounted below the switch substrate


• Washable and well-suited for medical, industrial and commercial applications • Can be shielded to offer protection against static discharge and EMI/RFI


Bonded Membrane Switch Assemblies


• Combines both the switch contact system and custom electronics into one complete package, eliminating the need for an additional LED indicator board


• Keypad can be designed using various interface systems, such as 3-dimensional (rubber keypad) buttons or flat panels • PCB substrate offers additional rigidity in front panel applications, which may eliminate the need for a metal backer


Hybrid Switch Assemblies


• Combines both the switch contact system and custom electronics into once complete package, eliminating the need for an additional motherboard or display board


• Keypad can be designed using various interface systems, such as 3-dimensional (rubber keypad) buttons or flat panels • Can be shielded to offer protection against static discharge and EMI/RFI


Control Panel Assemblies


• Insert molded contact system can be combined with molded assembly packages, which is well-suited for end products such as cellular telephone volume controls and special, sealed product applications


• Front panel may be backlit by electroluminescent panels • Washable and well-suited for medical, industrial and commercial applications
