Membrane
switch/membrane keypad, is built from PET/PC and
PSA. PCB can also be used as the base for a switch. It
can be tactile or non-tactile, depending on the design. Tactile one
provides a physical "click" when the user pushes it. Non-tactile
one has longer lives, but lack physical feedback to the user.
Rubber keypad can be added to the top of it as well. Membrane
switches are used in many areas, like medical, gaming, aviation,
boating, equipment, appliances, printers and public information
panels etc. Membrane switches have many advantages over other
switches. They are thin and compact, have a low cost, are versatile
and durable, user friendly and are moisture and dirt resistant.
Additionally, they come in many visually-pleasing styles and colors
suitable for any need.
