The Membrane Switch Design Guide has been prepared by our design and engineering experts.

It shows the multiple layers that make up a lightweight, flexible membrane switch.

The guide also provides ideas about how you can customize your membrane switch, based on:

  • switch type

  • graphic overlay options

  • circuitry

  • backlighting, shielding, and other customization options

Consider prototyping as part of your membrane switch project.

The Cubbison Company's Rapid Prototype Program can help you vet the form, fit, and function of your membrane switch before you invest in a full production run.

Membrane Switch Application in the Food Industry

Our industrial food client depended on reliable temperature control for food storage. They were specifically concerned about durability since the food storage area would be cleaned daily with high-pressure water hoses and chemicals. Our team helped them select a membrane switch design to meet the stringent National Electrical Manufacturer Association Level 4 (NEMA 4 ) standards. 

An industrial supply company needed a keypad designed to improve warehouse security. After consulting with our engineers and walking through two prototype iterations, the client settled on a multi-color, polyester keypad that would respond well to touch, yet withstand high temperatures and environmental contaminants.
