A customizable tactile membrane switch with embossing offers a unique solution for user interfaces, particularly where tactile feedback is essential. Here are some features and benefits:

Features

1. Custom Design:

   • Tailor the layout, size, and shape according to specific requirements.
   • Variety of colors and graphics for branding.

2. Embossing:

   • Raised elements provide tactile indications, enhancing user experience.
   • Helps users identify buttons without looking, improving accessibility.

3. Tactile Feedback:

   • Provides a physical response when pressed, ensuring users know an action has been registered.
   • Reduces the chance of accidental activation.

4. Durability:

   • Made from robust materials that withstand wear and tear.
   • Resistant to moisture and contaminants, suitable for various environments.

5. Easy Installation:

   • Adhesive backing for straightforward application.
   • Can be integrated seamlessly into existing designs.

Benefits

• Enhanced User Experience: The combination of visual and tactile feedback makes interactions intuitive.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including medical devices, consumer electronics, and industrial controls.
• Cost-Effective: A single product can replace multiple components, reducing manufacturing costs.

Applications

• Medical Equipment: For devices where user feedback is critical.
• Consumer Electronics: Enhancing usability in devices like remote controls and appliances.
• Industrial Controls: Improving operator efficiency and safety in machinery.

Specification:

1)Material (for front or face overlay)

Polyester:

1.Highly versatile for embossing

2.Highly resistant to chemicals

3.Better durability

4.For internal and external use, UV resistance

2.Polycarbonate:

1.Different surface(Glossy, Matt) and thickness(From 0.12mm~2mm)

2. cost-effective in price

3.For internal and external use

3) Embossing

Rim embossing/pillow embossing/dimple embossing

Graphic overlays can be embossed in order to insert domes/LED, leave space for mechanical keys/LED and provide tactile indications and better tactile feeling.

4)Keys/buttons

Tactile keys---with metal dome or poly dome

Non-tactile--silver printing dots with flat key

5)Cable

It is an extension of the printed circuit and is used to communicate with your device.

6)Types of connector

1.Zero insertion force (ZIF) connector; 2.Female connector; 3.male connector

7) EMI / RFI / ESD Shielding

use an aluminum foil shielding / a clear ITO electrical conductive polyester

8)Adhesive

mostly used are 3M-double-side glue

9)Backplate-

in aluminum, polycarbonate, acrylic, PCB
