MEMBRANE SWITCHES: NON-TACTILE

Traditional Non-Tactile Construction

Data Sheet

232 kb

Memtron’s Non-Tactile Construction is an excellent choice when the user relies on a sensory response — other then tactile touch — such as an audio or visual stimuli that alerts the user to a switch closure.

The construction performs well in situations where abuse, harsh environmental conditions and errant electrical charges are inherent. The switching elements are encapsulated within layers of polyester and acrylic-based adhesives to optimize necessary performance requirements.
