Keypads and other touch interfaces

1 January 2020 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Electronic Touch Systems manufactures a wide range of keypads and other user interfaces to suit the needs of many electronic applications.

Membrane keypads, in their simplest form, consist of one or several keys within a flat panel (less than 1 mm thick). Each key consists of an open contact between two tracks or wires that exit at the back of the keypad.

Domed badges let you enhance your marketing impact by turning an ordinary label into something extraordinary. The process can be compared to the effect a drop of water has on a polished surface, by adding a drop of clear resin to the printed material.

In–house manufacturing of electroluminescent backlighting for keypads is the latest addition to the company’s range of membrane switches.

For its graphic overlays, it processes the same materials as used for the membrane keypads but without any built-in keys – in other words using the top graphic layer with a single adhesive backing. All the same advantages of this material are applicable.
