PVC dome membrane switches are a common type of electronic switch. The key areas are formed by embossing the keypad layer using a dome press, creating raised domes. This design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also improves tactile sensitivity for the operator, aiding in accurately defining the key boundaries and thereby increasing recognition speed.
Comfortable tactile feedback: The raised key design provides excellent tactile response, offering a pleasant feel during operation with distinct key travel, enabling users to clearly perceive button presses.
Superior durability: PVC material possesses inherent elasticity and abrasion resistance. As the switch action primarily relies on vertical springing of the elastic membrane, wear is minimal, typically achieving a lifespan exceeding one million cycles.
Water and Dust Resistance: The inherent waterproof properties of PVC, combined with the membrane switch's sealed construction, effectively prevent water and dust ingress, making it suitable for diverse environments.
Design Flexibility: Customisable to user requirements, including patterns, colours, and key layouts. Can integrate LED light beads to achieve backlight functionality.
Application Areas: Widely employed in industrial control, medical equipment, and household appliances, such as control panels for automated production lines, electrocardiogram monitors, and washing machines, meeting diverse device control requirements.
