The lower, switch actuating element in this case is a solid printed circuit board (PCB). This ensures a high inzerent rigidity. The key positions are equipped with gold-plated contact points. These „gold on gold contacts“ offer very high switch reliability. The metal domes are placed in the openings of the spacer foil and fixed with a retaining foil. The top layer of the keyboard is a printed design foil available in many colours. On the back of the PCB, complete component assemblies, such as keyboard controllers, can be integrated using SMD technology. Flat input keyboards are manufacturable in all possible mounting and housing variants. Application fields • Machine engineering and system controls with small mounting depth • Ideal for medical devices • Measuring and control technology • Space-saving keyboards for industrial PCs • System control elements, e.g. for heating systems or industrial panels Important technological advantages • Individual layouts and colours • Minimum space required due to compact design • Key legends can be changed (exchangeable text) • Ideal pressure point due to metal domes • Good tactile feel of the key positions due to embossing • Rear side integration of electronic components (e.g. keyboard controller) possible • Polyester front foil featuring a high chemical resistance • Dirt and splash water proof • No risk of silver migration • The use of an antimicrobial keyboard foil is possible on request Layer construction of a flat input keyboard 1 Gold-plated PCB with integrated switching elements 2 Spacer foil 3 Retaining/ protective foil 4 Adhesive foil 5 Design foil i
