Silicone Keypad Rubber Keyboard Metal Dome Supplier

Metal Domes

Metal domes, also known as stainless steel domes or tactile metal domes, are crafted from high-quality stainless steel. These domes play a crucial role in switch functionality, leveraging their conductive properties. Positioned on the conductive part of the PCB, often above the gold finger on the circuit board, metal domes become concave when pressed, making contact with the PCB lines to complete a circuit. This action ensures the membrane keypad operates smoothly by allowing current to pass through effectively.

Silicone Keypad Design and Tooling

When designing a silicone rubber keypad or creating the tooling, it’s essential to consider not just the keypad structure (such as actuation force, key travel, and conductive methods), but also the surface requirements. This includes factors like color spray coating, material choices, hardness variations, and their mutual influences. Attention to these details ensures the overall performance and aesthetics of the keypad.

Many customers focus primarily on the actuation force of silicone keypads, often overlooking other critical aspects such as web uniformity, the impact of spray-coated colors, key cover effects, and the integration of the keypad with the device.
