Our membrane switches have an actuation life of 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 cycles. We have backlighting options consisting of: LED, light guide film, electro luminescence (EL), and fiber optics. We can fabricate these switches along with graphic overlay made from various polyesters and polycarbonates. Our membranes can withstand temperatures ranging from -20°C to 75°C. Electrical specifications include ESD / RFI shielding options, through-hole or two-sided flex circuits, 100 mA at 28 VDC max and maximum load 1.5 VA nominal.
