Membrane Switch Material & Component Manufacturers

Membrane Switches serve a broad cross-section of manufacturing, electronic, medical, and consumer product providers. These key panels include tactile and non-tactile membrane switches, PCB actuator switches, elastomer keypads and transparent touch screens.

Membrane switches can be used in a great variety of low-voltage applications, from microprocessor-based systems to data entry pads and digital control panels. While thin and flexible, these screen-printed circuits are also rugged and reliable, and free from the common failures associated with mechanical parts. Membrane switches are flexible and must be mounted on a rigid backer panel, plastic, metal or a printed circuit board.
