Designing and Manufacturing Considerations
When designing and manufacturing silicone rubber keypads, it is crucial to factor in not only the force required to press the buttons and the keypad structure but also the surface and material requirements. Key considerations include:
Force and Travel Distance: The actuation force for depressing the keys, which provides tactile feedback, typically ranges from 90 grams to 180 grams. The travel distance, which is the gap between the silicone key and the conductive layers on the PCB, commonly ranges from 0.9mm to 1.2mm.
Material Selection: Choosing the appropriate silicone materials based on required hardness, transparency, and color.
Symbols and Icons: Customizable through screen printing or laser etching and engraving.
Protective Covers: Available for enhanced durability and protection.
Conductivity and Webbing: Ensuring reliable performance through precise material conductivity and webbing structure between buttons.
