 Polycarbonate Chrome Ink Printing Front Round Tactile Switch For Medical Equipment

Features of Round Tactile Switches

1. Tactile Feedback: Round tactile switches are designed to provide a perceptible "click" or haptic bump when pressed, indicating that the switch has been activated. This feedback is crucial for applications where user confirmation is needed.

2. Compact Design: These switches are typically low-profile, making them suitable for applications where space is limited, such as in keyboards, remote controls, and portable devices.

3. Durability: Round tactile switches are built to last, often featuring a contact dome that maintains stable contact over extended use. This durability is essential for devices that require frequent operation.

4. Variety of Types: They come in various configurations, including sealed and unsealed types, which can protect against dust and moisture. This makes them suitable for both consumer and industrial applications.

5. Mounting Options: Round tactile switches can be mounted on printed circuit boards (PCBs) using either through-hole or surface mount techniques, providing flexibility in design.

Material

• Common materials include vinyl, polyester, polyimide (Kapton), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films.
• The material needs to be durable, chemical/solvent resistant, and able to withstand temperature extremes.

Adhesive

• Pressure-sensitive adhesives like acrylic or rubber-based are common.
• The adhesive must have strong bonding strength to adhere securely to various surfaces.
• It should also resist peeling, lifting, and degradation over time.

Here are some examples of common Lexan polycarbonate products used for industrial overlay and enclosure designs:

1. Lexan FMR (Flame Mitigating Resin) Sheets

• Formulated with flame-retardant additives to meet stringent fire safety standards
• Often used for control panel faceplates, switch plates, and equipment housings
• Available in clear, tinted, and opaque color options

2. Lexan EXL Impact-Modified Sheets

• Engineered for superior impact resistance and toughness
• Ideal for overlays, bezels, and enclosures that need to withstand abuse
• Maintains optical clarity and dimensional stability under impact

3. Lexan HPS (High Performance Sheet)

• Offers excellent chemical, temperature, and UV resistance
• Used for outdoor equipment, harsh environment enclosures
• Can be metallized or coated for specialized surface finishes

4. The typical thickness range for polycarbonate front panes used in industrial control panels can vary, but generally falls within the following ranges:

   Standard Thickness:
   1.5 mm to 3.0 mm
   This is the most common thickness range for basic polycarbonate front panes. This thickness provides a good balance of durability, optical clarity, and cost-effectiveness.

   Thicker Panels:
   4.0 mm to 6.0 mm
   Thicker polycarbonate panels may be used in applications that require enhanced physical protection or larger panel sizes. The increased thickness adds more impact resistance and rigidity to the front pane.

   Specialized Thicknesses:
   0.75 mm to 1.25 mm
   8.0 mm to 12.0 mm
