Knitter-switch has combined the key features of membrane and rubber keypads into a single, highly customisable, dual technology keypad.
Membrane keypads offer economical, small size, multilayered, moisture sealed, self-adhesive mounting switching solutions which may be printed with graphics to match the end product. Rubber keypads have the advantages of better tactile ‘feel’, greater choice of form (shape and size of button or actuator), the ability to be backlit and are lower cost than membrane keypads.
By combining these technologies, Knitter-switch’s solution can be used economically for just a single switch through to a multikey keypad. The surface of the final keypad may be flat or contoured and will sit on the end equipment like a label, minimising assembly time and cost. The keypads save space, are very thin and have the facility to be backlit. With excellent tactile response for positive switching, the individual keys may be domed and polyurethane coated for a robust finish which also protects any printed legends against wear. The complete keypad can be sealed to IP65 and is simple to connect via a flexi-tail PCB terminated with the customer’s choice of male or female connector.
Typical applications include security access systems, environmental controls, industrial and factory equipment, medical systems and home automation.
