Tailored Conductive Printing Keypad Buttons

Overview:

Conductive printed keypads, also known as conductive ink keypads, are an important component of silicone rubber keypads. They improve electrical conductivity by using conductive ink on the surface of the keys. When pressed, these keys bridge the gap between the keyboard and the circuitry, allowing electrical signals to pass through to fulfill user commands. The manufacturing process includes preparation of the silicone keypad, precise application of conductive ink, curing, and quality testing to ensure functionality. These keys provide a reliable electrical connection for seamless operation of electronic devices.

Advantages of Electrically Conductive Ink Printing for Keypads:

Enhancing Keypad Conductivity

  1. Varied Conductive Zones: Experience versatility with irregular or O-ring/rectangular shaped areas for backlighting, catering to diverse design needs.
  2. Specialized Solutions: While black carbon pills remain the standard choice for most silicone keypads, certain keypads with irregular conductive zones, such as laser-etched or silk-screen silicone rubber keypads, are optimized for LED backlighting effects.

Enhanced Production Efficiency

By opting for transfer conductive printing, production costs can be significantly reduced. Unlike traditional methods that involve manually placing numerous black carbon pills, this printing technique allows for the simultaneous coating of multiple types of keypad contact zones. Moreover, the process is automated, streamlining production and saving valuable time.

Disadvantages:

  1. Contact Resistance: Printing vs. Carbon Pill Keypads

Printing ink keypads typically have higher contact resistance (around 150-200 OHMs) compared to carbon pill keypads (below 100 OHMs). Achieving precise resistance in printing keypads requires additional materials and improved processes.

  1. Durability: Carbon Pill vs. Printing Keyboards

Carbon pill keypads are more durable than printing keypads, which may experience ink wear over time. To enhance printing keypad lifespan, high-quality ink and thorough drying are crucial.
