Non-Tactile

OVERVIEW

Membrane Switches - 54730 MEMBRANE SWITCHES F

Non-Tactile membrane switchesrely on a sensory response other than tactile touch, such as an audio or visual stimuli that alertsthe user to switch closure.Non-tactile switches performwell in abusive environments and are more conducive in applications where large, hidden or irregular shapedkeys are a requirement.

TechnologyDescription Traditional Non-Tactile: This construction performs well insituations where abuse, harsh environmental conditions and errant electrical charges are inherent. Uni-Layer: This construction provides the lowest costsolution in membrane switch technology. By consolidatingall of the trace work onto a single membrane layer, all ofthe traces can be terminated via single wiper ZIF orfriction-fit connection.

PushGate

The thin profile PushGate pushbuttons are cost-effectiveand simple in design. Its superior reliability makes PushGate one of the leading switch technologies in the world.Successful actuations and a crisp, consistent tactile feel donot degrade over time—even after half a billion actuations—differentiating it substantially from conventional mechanicaland membrane switches.
