Screen Process Circuits membrane switches

Membrane switches are a suitable alternative to mechanical switches in electronic applications where visually appealing, durable inputs are required. They are a good choice for many industries, including the medical, manufacturing, mining and transportation sectors. They can be completely sealed, making them dustproof, moisture resistant and tough in harsh environments.

There are many variations of membrane switches, but the most common are tactile and non-tactile switches. Tactile membrane switches provide immediate feedback to the user, while non-tactile membrane switches do not, and they generally have a thinner profile.

Membrane switches can be constructed with multiple circuit layers, incorporating features such as embossed (domed) keypads, tactile responsive (clicker) stainless steel domes, integrated LEDs and resistors. This can provide the designer with virtually limitless capabilities to create a custom user interface.
