How to test the life of metal dome?

We often receive this question from customer, what’s the life of this metal dome?
When we tell them answers, some customers will ask how do you test it? Hereby we will tell you.
But firstly, we should let you know, we don’t have a unified test method in the market, different manufacturers, different result.
1) Test probe: frequentlly used is rubber probe & tungsten steel probe, diameter from 1.5mm to 3.0mm or more bigger.
2) Test force: We use two times of metal dome active force, but in Europe, they only use 1.1 times, so our standard is stricter. That means company, using the standard from Europe, will get a longer life figures, when they try to test the life of a metal dome.
3) Test Frequency: 2-3 times per second (120 times -180 times per min).
Now are you clear?
