Membrane Switch Design Guide

Membrane switch technology features a unique set of advantages for a variety of application. As a result, each design request is exclusive, based on the application, technical specifications, and industry requirements. That’s why we’ve created a set of guidelines to assist you with the design and creation of your custom membrane switch.

Switch Layer Design Capabilities

Cubbison provides multiple options for switches, such as metal domes for tactile feedback, polydomes, and flat non-tactile design alternatives. Switch design choices, include ESD/RFI shielding, NEMA 4 requirements, tail length and exit point, interconnectivity, and adhesive options allow you to further customize the membrane switch to your precise requirement.

Duraswitch® Electronic Switch Technology

A reliable alternative to the traditional membrane switch, Duraswitch incorporates the best features of both an electro-mechanical and flat panel membrane switch into a dependable and robust thin keypad design for next-generation products. This switch technology offers many benefits, including the ability to thrive in harsh, abusive and rugged environments without compromising quality. Duraswitch utilizes two unique technologies: PushGate® and thiNcoder® rotor. These components ensure longevity and work without the scraping, flexing, and grinding associated with traditional switches.

Why Duraswitch Switch Technology?

• Durable alternative to traditional membrane switches
• Thin, light keypad assembly excels in the toughest environments
• Delivers a tactile feel without compromising quality over time

Integrated User-Interface Assemblies

A user-interface assembly is a fully functioning turnkey input device integrating a variety of electronic components that connect the operator to the machine. Assemblies combine two or more aspects of a design that allows the customer to simply plug-and-play to their equipment. An integrated user-interface eliminates multiple purchase orders with different suppliers as devices can be assembled under one roof and in a timely manner.

Why Integrated User-Interface Assemblies?

• Turnkey input device featuring plug-and-play capabilities
• Reduce purchasing costs with one source for order and delivery
• Eliminate minimum quantity requirements
