Custom Waterproof Membrane Switch For Industrial Equipment In Gold-Plated Metal Dome

Custom Waterproof Membrane Switch For Industrial Equipment In Gold-Plated Metal Dome

Creating a custom waterproof membrane switch with gold-plated metal domes for industrial equipment involves several key considerations:

Key Features:

1. Waterproof Design: Ensure the membrane switch is sealed properly to prevent water ingress. This can involve using adhesives, gaskets, or coatings that provide IP67 or higher ratings.

2. Material Selection:

   • Substrate: Use durable, flexible materials like polyester or polycarbonate for the overlay.
   • Adhesives: Choose strong, waterproof adhesives that can withstand various environmental conditions.

3. Gold-Plated Metal Domes:

   • Conductivity: Gold plating enhances conductivity and provides a reliable contact point.
   • Durability: Metal domes offer tactile feedback and can withstand repeated presses.

4. Graphic Design: Customize the overlay with graphics, logos, or labels that are printed using techniques like screen printing or digital printing for durability.

5. Environmental Resistance: Consider additional treatments to resist chemicals, UV light, and abrasion, depending on the industrial setting.

Manufacturing Process:

1. Design Prototyping: Create CAD designs and prototypes to ensure functionality and aesthetics.
2. Testing: Perform rigorous testing for waterproofing, durability, and electrical performance.
3. Production: Utilize precision manufacturing techniques to ensure high quality and consistency.

Applications:

• Control panels for machinery
• Equipment in harsh environments like food processing or outdoor equipment

 Specification:

1)Material---for front or face overlay

Polyester

1.Highly versatile for embossing 2.Highly resistant to chemicals

3.Better durability 4.For internal and external use

Polycarbonate

1.Wide range of surface finishes and thicknesses

2.More cost-effective 3.For internal and external use

2) Embossing--rim embossing pillow embossing dim embpssing

Graphic overlays can be embossed in order to insert domes (tactile), leave space for mechanical keys and provide tactile indications Pedestal embossing

3)Windows ----for display function

1. print colors windows

2.transparent finishes windows

4)Keys/buttons

Tactile keys---with metal dome or poly dome

Non-tactile--silver printing spot

5) Embeded LEDs-

miniature LED, LED colors:white, yellow, orange, green, red, etc.

6)Cable

is an extension of the printed circuit and is used to communicate with your device

7)Types of connector

1.Zero insertion force (ZIF) connector; 2.Female connector; 3.male connector

8) EMI / RFI / ESD Shielding

use an aluminum foil shielding / a clear ITO electrical conductive polyester

9) Adhesive ----mostly used are 3M-double-side glue

10)Backplate---in aluminum, polycarbonate or acrylic
