Desired Peak Force (Fmax) and Tactile Feel (Tactile Ratio)
|
| |
Peak Force (Fmax): 150 to 300 grams, +/-25%, Application dependent
Tactile Ratio ((Fmax - Fmin)/Fmax): .30 to .65, Application
dependent |
|
|
Dome Venting: Domes may be vented internally if more than 4 domes in series or
|
| |
externally via a hole in dome
layer or channel to perimeter through spacer layer |
|
|
Metal Domes achieve greater tactile in much shorter actuation than poly domes.
|
|
|
Metal Domes offer:
|
| |
|
|
Slim in
design
|
|
Light Weight
|
|
|
Short
actuation with excellent tactile
|
|
Excellent
mechanical life
|
|
|
Operating at higher temperature 85 degree
|
|
|
|
|
|
Metal Domes array can be mounted on
|
|
|
|
|
FPC as a module and integrated with other interface components such as
|
|
|
LEDs, LCD, EL and connecters.
|
|
|
PCB as an array held by PET retainer.
|
|
|
Front panel as an integrated assembly.
|
|
|
|
Poly Domes offer tactile feel with relative short actuation. Poly Domes form the basic
|
|
|
platform for front panel and polyester circuitry products. |
