Conductive Silver Ink Printing Membrane Circuit Switch For WIFI Telecommunication Device
Keypad Button Selection
For obtaining a good feedback from the buttons, there are usually two methods:
A. Raising certain areas of the graphic overlay by tooling--Raised button. And the shapes and styles of the embossing can be various flexibly. Common embossing types include: Rim embossing, pillow embossed and poly dome .
B. Adding extra parts on the switch to get the crisp effect--Metal snap domes. it can be provided in several different size,shape and force according to the interface .
Wide range of domes is available:
· Ø 6 to Ø 16 mm
· 150 g to 550 g actuation force
· Typical life greater than 1M cycle
· Dimple and non-dimple versions available
· Round, Side Cut, Legged
· Dome plating options available
Specification:
1)Material (for front or face overlay)
Polyester:
1.Highly versatile for embossing
2.Highly resistant to chemicals
3.Better durability
4.For internal and external use, UV resistance
Polycarbonate:
1.Different surface(Glossy, Matt) and thickness(From 0.12mm~2mm)
2. cost-effective in price
3.For internal and external use
2) Embossing
Rim embossing/pillow embossing/dimple embossing
Graphic overlays can be embossed in order to insert domes/LED, leave space for mechanical keys/LED and provide tactile indications and better tactile feeling.
3)Windows(for display function)
1. print different colors windows, As transparent grey/Red/green window for display
2. Clear/Transparent window for LCD display
2. Matt/semi-transparent window for LED
4)Keys/buttons
Tactile keys---with metal dome or poly dome
Non-tactile--silver printing dots with flat key
5) Embeded LEDs
Small, brilliant lights only about 0.02’’ in height. Avaliable in several vibrant colors.
LED colors: white, yellow, orange, green, red, or double colors LED.
6)Cable
It is an extension of the printed circuit and is used to communicate with your device.
7)Types of connector
1.Zero insertion force (ZIF) connector; 2.Female connector; 3.male connector
8) EMI / RFI / ESD Shielding
use an aluminum foil shielding / a clear ITO electrical conductive polyester
9)Adhesive
mostly used are 3M-double-side glue
10)Backplate-
in aluminum, polycarbonate, acrylic, PCB
