If you
next project requires a keypad, EECO’s elastomer keypads deliver a
“custom” look and feel at a very “standard”
price. Made from durable silicone
rubber, EECO Elastomer keypads are available in either conductive
or non-conductive configurations to suit any design
requirement. The keypad may interface directly with a printed
circuit board (conductive) or with a membrane or other type of
switch (non-conductive). Applications are
limitless. There
are two basic types of elastomer
keypad: INTEGRAL:
One-piece construction incorporating the keys and the keymat.
This type may be constructed in one or several colors, and with or
without legends or other special features. This type of
keypad is designed to fit directly into a bezel, typically in hand
held devices. INNER:
A keymat designed to act as a switching or spring layer between the
keys and a PCB or membrane switching circuit. This type of
design is now very common in full travel keyboards, and has
replaced the traditional mechanical switch
keyboard.
EECO
integral keypads are offered with or without legends, and in solid
colors or natural, translucent rubber. Translucent keypads
are used for back lit applications. The keys may be
field-lighted (solid legend on a translucent, lighted background)
or reverse field lighted (illuminated legend on a solid
background.
All
EECO elastomer keypads are compression molded to exacting
standards. Molds may be single cavity tools for prototype or
low volume production, or large, multi-cavity tools for high volume
requirements. EECO will assist you in your design to find the
most economical financial solution. EECO
elastomer keypads offer the design engineer a wide range of colors,
shapes, and finishes to enhance the beauty and functionality of the
product.
EECO
SWITCH is one of the few manufacturers of both electro-mechanical
switches and elastomer keypads. Our elastomer keypads are found in
the most demanding applications worldwide. Rely on EECO SWITCH for
the quality and reliability your demand. Why trust your elastomer
keypad design to anyone else?
