What is metal dome click ratio? Metal dome parameters
The click rate of the metal dome usually refers to the force feedback ratio when pressing the key (Click Ratio), which is an important indicator for measuring the feel and feedback of the key. The parameters of the metal dome … Continue reading →
What are standard metal domes? Stainless steel dome
Standard metal domes are based on stainless steel, which has excellent elasticity and corrosion resistance. Its surface is smooth and can effectively resist environmental erosion, especially suitable for humid and chemically corrosive environments. It plays a key role in electronic … Continue reading →
What are tactile dome switch? Dome switches
Tactile dome switch is a switch that uses the elastic deformation of a metal dome to provide tactile feedback. When pressed, the dome contacts the circuit board and conducts; when released, the dome returns to its original state and the … Continue reading →
What is a membrane button? Membrane push button switch
Membrane button is a touch switch made of multiple layers of film material. A membrane button switch is an electronic component that switches the circuit on and off by pressing the membrane button. It consists of a panel, a conductive … Continue reading →
How metal dome works in electronic devices?
Metal domes in electronic devices use their elastic deformation to switch the circuit on and off. When the user presses a button, the metal dome is pressed down and contacts the circuit board, forming a conduction; after releasing the button, … Continue reading →
Why choose tape and reel packaging for metal dome?
Metal dome is packaged in tape and reel because of its high protection and convenience. Tape and reel packaging arranges and fixes the dome in an orderly manner, preventing dust and moisture from damage. During automated assembly, the dome in … Continue reading →
What is a metal dome array for POS machines?
Metal dome array for POS machines is a sheet of tactile switches made from stainless steel domes mounted on a flexible layer. It’s placed under the keypad of a POS terminal to provide a crisp, responsive click when a button … Continue reading →
What is the lifespan of a metal dome array?
The lifespan of a metal dome array typically ranges from 1 to 5 million cycles, depending on the material, actuation force, and usage conditions. These domes are built to offer consistent tactile feedback and long-term reliability, far outperforming rubber alternatives. … Continue reading →
How to install a metal dome array? Dome array
Installing a metal dome array starts with a clean surface. Carefully align the adhesive dome sheet over the contact points, then press it down evenly to secure it. Precision is key, as misalignment can affect tactile feel and switch performance. … Continue reading →
How to choose metal dome strength (gf)?
Metal dome strength (in grams-force/gf) directly affects tactile feedback and service life – choosing the right strength is the only way to balance the feel and durability. Light touch operations (such as remote controls) are suitable for gentle feedback of … Continue reading →
