Ssilicone Rubber Elastomer Keypad
Silicone rubber keypad also known as (rubber keypad, elastomeric keypads, push button, membrane switch, Elastic Silicone Keyboard, Keypad Keyboard Cover) which mainly made of elastomeric transparent silicone rubber materials by silicone rubber compression molding tooling, and are used extensively in both consumer and industrial electronic products as a low cost and reliable switching solution.
Keypad Web & Wall, Key Pad, Key Top & Cover and Electrically Conductive Contact Zones that consist of Silicone Rubber Keypad major structure.
Design Rubber Keypad or Keypad Tooling Making, not only in view of silicone keypad structure, like actuation force, key travel, conductive way etc, but also need care about silicone keypad surface demands like color spray coating, materials choice, hardness difference and mutual influence etc.
Most customers pay much attention to elastomeric keypads actuation force and neglect keypad whole performance. Like silicone rubber keypad Web uniformity, spraying color coated influence, key cover effects, keypad-device integration etc.
Silicone Keypad Keyboard Cover types mainly according to keypad surface legends demands, keypad color demands, functional requirements, conductive ways demands, key cover demands and material property demands etc.
Properties:
Because silicone is an insulator, membrane switches are naturally shock resistant. Silicone rubber push button are also naturally vibration resistant, and they can be customized to be water and dust resistant as well. For this reason, rubber keypads are often suitable for rugged applications. Rubber keypads can also be easily backlit, as silicone rubber acts as an efficient light diffusion medium.
Applications:
Common applications of silicone rubber keypads include remote controls for TV, video and HIFI units, electronic toys and games, and industrial control equipment.
Industrial silicone rubber keypads such as ones produced by CTI Electronics Corporation are used in the medical, marine, or, military are typically sealed comply to specific industry standards such as NEMA or IP66 for protection against elements such as liquids or dust.
