Silicon rubber keypads
Silicon rubber keypads are not only extremely durable, but also offer almost unlimited design possibilities. In addition, they are very cost-effective in series production compared to other keyboard technologies.
Technology
Silicone is an extremely flexible and robust material that is resistant to mechanical stress as well as to solvents and UV radiation. Analogous to the injection molding process, the shaping of silicone for a keypad is very free. Equally uncomplicated is the production of different button heights and shapes, pressure forces, convex and concave buttons and different button colors.
Silicon rubber keypads are used to perform a “switching function” through an underlying printed circuit board or other circuit carrier directly or indirectly. They can be also combined to many other products to achieve different function, such as LED, LGF, circuits, metal domes, etc. For more information and knowledge, please contact us.
Silicone rubber keypads can also be backlit very well, which is a great advantage for devices that are used in the dark or in twilight.
This technology is not only suitable for applications from the catering or household appliance sector, it is rather also an interesting alternative for industry and medical technology.
Silicone keypads are also perfect for applications in the construction sector. Here is an example of a Tyrolit drill motor.
Advantages of silicon rubber keypads
- optimum haptics
- high abrasion resistance
- high durability
- customer-specific implementation
- unprinted, single or multi-coloured printing according to customer specifications
- backlighting of individual keys or entire keyboard possible
- hardly any limits in terms of shape and colour
Special
Silicon rubber keypads adapt to your design and are extremely flexible. Different key shapes and individual key colors as well as multicolored keyboard illumination can be realized without any problems.
