Membranes Switches, also known as Membrane Keypads and Membrane Keyboards, are a hard wearing, cost effective, reliable and flexible solution for switching applications in equipment manufacture. They can be fully customised in size and design to meet your exact application requirements and the graphic layer provides unique branding opportunities.
MEMBRANE SWITCHES AND KEYPADS
Sun Industries designs and manufactures Membrane Switches for multi national and national manufacturers at purpose built facilities in Osborne Park, Western Australia. Our knowledge of design, materials and assembly methods ensures we deliver correctly specified, hard wearing and attractive membrane switches that will continue to function for millions of actuations.
Polyester, polycarbonate and polyurethane typically make up the components of a membrane switch panel. Internally, the switching mechanisms are via metal domes or conductive shorting pads. Further enhancements include surface mount LEDs, water clear widows, dead fronts, back-lighting with optic fibre or electroluminescence and solid mounting plates. Terminations to the PCB can be via Berg connectors and Nicomatic connectors or designed to fit Ziff connectors.
Membrane switches and keypads are a fully customisable solutions for Human – Machine Interface (HMI) requirements. Each product we design and manufacture is unique and has its own requirement regarding environmental, mechanical, electrical and physical appearance properties. With our decades of experience, Sun Industries is able to help you through the specification process to make sure your products HMI solution is suited perfectly.
The following provide insight into the considerations that need to allowed for at the initial stages of design. As the concept develops and moves towards completion it’s important to talk to experts that have a strong understanding of the variables and what impact they have on the overall product.
These following points are an example of the further considerations that should be considered and talked through with the design and sales team at Sun Industries: •
It’s important to specify the right materials and adhesives for the right environmental considerations. Our Membrane Switches are designed to last the lifetime of the product for absolute reliability.
