Silver Flex Membrane Switch Construction
1.Graphic overlay Typically, polyester is the material used due to its superior chemical resistance and flex life compared to polycarbonate.
2. Overlay adhesive – The adhesive layer, typically created with an acrylic adhesive, bonds the graphic overlay to the top circuit layer.
3. Top circuit layer – This is a 0.005” – 0.007” heat stabilized polyester printed with silver conductive inks.
4. Circuit spacer – This layer separates the top circuit from the bottom circuit so the switch remains open until the keypad is pressed. The circuit spacer is a polyester spacer with adhesive on both sides.
5. Lower circuit layer – This is a 0.005” – 0.007” heat stabilized polyester printed with silver conductive inks. This layer terminates a flexible tail that acts as the interconnect to controller PCBs or other electronics.
6. Rear adhesive layer – This adhesive layer bonds the entire membrane switch package to the product enclosure or housing, or to a rigid support panel.
7. Rigid support layer– This optional layer adds structural integrity to the membrane switch assembly.
