Product type
Membrane keypad switches are user interface devices that consist of a thin, flexible membrane with printed circuits and graphics. They typically feature a layer of adhesive that allows them to be mounted on various surfaces. When a key is pressed, the membrane makes contact with the underlying circuit, completing the electrical connection and sending a signal to the device it controls. Membrane keypads are known for their durability and resistance to dust and moisture.
