Silicone
keypads
Silicone keyboards are used in many applications, for example in
industry, communication systems or consumer products. In comparison to
other keyboard technologies the silicone keyboards do have an excellent
price-performance-ratio, are robust and dependable. Unlimited designs
are possible. Shape and color of the key tops designed at your wishes.
Silicone keyboards are made of high flexible and toxin free silicon
caoutchouc. Pressure and appropriate temperature will produce the
keyboard. A special tooling is required for every different design. On
the backside usually a conductive carbon pill is located under every
key. The contact element is normally meander shaped tails on PCB or
foil.

Different silicone
coatings
Silk-screen printing normally is used as printing method on the silicone
top of a key. If needed, the key tops can be coated. In this case the
feeling is better then pure silicone surface. The coating also improves
the resistance against abrasion measurable.
Tools for Silicone
keyboards
The tooling for every silicone keyboard is made of a special alloy. They
are produced on precise CNC-milling and erosion machines. One tooling
can do several production runs. This way we already pay attention to
later production at manufacturing of the tooling.
