Membrane switches
Membrane switches have become established all over the world: in outdoor areas as well as for industrial devices or in the household sector. They convince with their great individual design freedom, their durability as well as their low installation depth. Their design requires less than 1 mm of space and includes the complete circuitry and even integrated LED key lights. No wonder they are the most widely used input systems in appliance and machine construction.
Technology
MICHEL ITC membrane switches are already protected against dirt and mechanical damage by the design principle. The reason: the front foils of the membrane switches are printed on the back as standard. This means that the upper foil layer of the membrane switches constructed according to the sandwich principle offers effective protection. And the surface of the switches is easier to clean and disinfect.
Membrane switches are also extremely compact: their construction requires less than 1 mm of space. In addition, they can be realised optically and ergonomically according to customer requirements. This means that even sophisticated designs can be implemented in confined spaces.
As a long-standing supplier, we offer the full range of membrane switch technologies: Silver Guidance, Capacitive Guidance, FPC (Flexible Printed Circuits), PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as well as 3D button designs.
Advantages of membrane switches
- low weight, thin, space-saving
- Colour printing, free design
- individual tactility
- dustproof
- water resistant
- high durability
- resistant to chemicals (solvents)
- easy to clean
- no abrasion of the print
- EL components can be integrated
Areas of use
Special
No other input technology is equally suitable for small quantities as well as for large quantities. With our processes and manageable company size, we are also the preferred partner for short runs. Ask us for a non-binding offer!
