Membrane Switch

Membrane switches are a momentary contact switches being used in many applications today. The most common usage is on microwave ovens. Membrane switch control panel can integrate many SMT components and retain a thin profile. Flexible design options make membrane switches a smart choice for many. They can replace mechanical switches, save valuable PCB space, and are an easy one-piece, one-operation assembly. We are able to combine our knowledge of material, process and interface design to provide the best solution for your application. Our engineering team will work with your designers and engineers to develop a high quality, rugged membrane switch assembly.
