Wholesale Silicone Rubber Keypad Silicone Conductive Rubber Pad

Details

Silicone rubber keypads, also known as silicone buttons or elastomeric keypads, are ubiquitous in everyday life. Thanks to their low cost, design flexibility, and reliability, these keypads are integral to various products across multiple industries, including medical, marine, military, and consumer electronics such as TV remotes and electronic games.

Key Features

• Temperature Resistance: Can withstand extreme temperatures ranging from -55°C to 250°C.
• Noise Reduction: Soft and elastic contact structure minimizes noise during use.
• Durability: Highly resistant to abrasion, sulfur dioxide, and oxidation, even in humid conditions.
• Tactile Feedback: Designed for optimal snap ratio and tactile response.
• Backlighting Compatibility: Translucent colors suitable for backlit applications.
• Multi-Color Designs: Easily supports complex, multi-color layouts.
• Environmental Resistance: Water and contamination resistant with additional coating options for enhanced durability and chemical resistance.

Design and Customization with Silkeypad

At Silkeypad, we offer comprehensive involvement in your silicone keypad projects, ensuring high-quality outcomes through rigorous quality assurance and control measures. Our team can help you design keypads that meet your specific needs.

Customization Options

Silicone’s versatility allows for a wide range of design possibilities. By adjusting membrane shape and size, you can achieve various actuation forces and tactile responses. Customization options include:

• Contact stroke length
• Actuation force
• Key shape
• Material hardness

For instance, creating taller or wider keys requires designing with a higher actuation force to maintain performance and user satisfaction.

Recommended Design Parameters

To ensure a long lifespan and positive tactile feel, we recommend:

1. A snap ratio between 40% – 60%. Ratios below 40% increase keypad lifespan but reduce tactile feedback.
2. An actuation force between 125 – 150 grams, paired with the recommended snap ratio,ensures a satisfying ‘click’ during use.

Silicone rubber keypads are perfect for a wide range of applications, including but not limited to:

• Medical devices
• Marine equipment
• Military hardware
• Consumer electronics (e.g., TV remotes, electronic games)
• Industrial controls
