Keypad Assemblies

Keypad Assemblies

Electronics ranging from mobile devices to large-scale interactive displays rely on membrane switches to create an intuitive user interface. The printed circuit boards used in these assemblies can be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible and either single-sided, double-sided or multi-layered. The overlay is the final touch, giving a membrane switch the look, texture, and functionality needed for its intended application.

We have the technology and expertise to produce custom, state-of-the-art custom membrane switches and overlays for printed circuit boards that meet your unique requirements. Our engineers work with customer-supplied printed circuit boards to design and manufacture a membrane switch assembly to meet your specific requirements.

Membrane Switches & Assemblies Built for Improved Visual Clarity

Our custom keypad assemblies may utilize fewer pieces of hardware than other designs require. With fewer components and no metal panel, assembly installation time is reduced, and there are fewer inventory items that are part of the printed circuit board assembly procedure. Using fewer components and eliminating the metal panel allows the assembly and LEDs to be installed closer to the back of the display lens, resulting in better visual clarity for the user.

We can provide keypad assemblies with added components on the PCB in addition to the membrane switch circuitry. This layout results in extra space on other printed circuit boards in the total assembly when space is at a premium.

Design & Manufacturing Capabilities for Keypad Assemblies

Our manufacturing capabilities enable us to create full control panel assemblies in complete, ready-to-use form. Build in a few or several layers to meet your design and functionality needs. Select from a non-tactile, tactile, or mixed panel membrane switch, then complete the look with your preferred material, texturing, and window size. Our team is here to assist you through each step of the design process.

Full assembly including membrane switch, LCD, PCB, box and cable

Customize Each Overlay Keypad Assembly to Your Specifications and Include All Necessary Parts & Components:

  • Customer-supplied printed circuit board (we can help you find a PCB manufacturer, if needed)
  • Membrane switches or rubber keypads for user interface
  • Custom metal panels to support the PCBs & switches/keypads
  • Metal or plastic exterior casings (customer-supplied or made to order)
  • LED lights and LCD screens (if needed)
  • Fully installed wiring
  • Mounting brackets
  • Other parts and components, as requested

Complete Your Membrane Switch Assembly with Custom Graphics

Add graphics to your custom membrane switch assembly using our in-house screen printed or digital printing services. Digital printing can produce many special graphic effects such as color cross-fading, halftones, and near photo quality images. We also provide services for circuit layout, CAD design, proofing, prototyping, and more.
