A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/products.htm\" title=\"\">metal dome<\/a><\/strong> rests on the PCB surface, over printed conductive traces. In its resting state, the dome is slightly elevated, keeping the circuit open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a user presses the switch, the dome deforms and its underside makes contact with the PCB\u2019s lower conductive pad. This closes the circuit and sends a signal to the device\u2019s control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once pressure is removed, the metal dome returns to its original convex shape. The circuit opens again, ready for the next actuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a PCB metal dome membrane switch, the dome is often held in place by an adhesive layer or integrated into a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/product-dome-array.htm\" title=\"\">metal dome array<\/a><\/strong> sheet.
