A membrane switch generally consists of two polyester films that are screen printed with conductive ink to form the circuit layers of the switch. A spacer, which is die cut at contact points, is then sandwiched between two circuits. The die-cut holes permit a touch of the finger to close the contact, which in turn completes the circuit. Upon release, the circuit is broken.
A graphic overlay is added to the membrane switch to allow the input device user to identify specific switch contacts.
The panel back is laminated with an adhesive for mounting to a backer or enclosure and is terminated with a means for interfacing with the customer’s electronics.
Tactile feedback in a membrane switch is actually an enhancement, which provides the user feedback when they press the key location. Typically, the switch consists of a top and bottom layer of polyester with a tactile actuator that when pressed, momentarily completes the circuit while providing the user a degree of response based on the switches construction.
Non-tactile membrane switches rely on a sensory response other then tactile touch, such as an audio or visual stimuli that alerts the user to switch closure.
Non-tactile switches perform well in abusive environments and are more conducive in applications where large, hidden or irregular shaped keys are a requirement.
Printed circuit board switches are utilized in situations where there are trace routing limitations with traditional membrane switches or the OEM customer would like to utilize the PCB as a ridged backer that can also be populated with active and passive components, reducing the amount of materials and interconnects.

Advanced Input Systems designed this extreme ruggedized keyboard dubbed Grizzly, for its survival abilities, to reliably operate in harsh situations. The durable Grizzly Xtreme withstands environmental usage hazards typical of mobile, rugged, and industrial applications. Users no longer need to compromise wear or performance to benefit from extreme keyboard protection and full functionality.
Well-suited for gloved applications and light pressure typing, the Grizzly Xtreme is an elastomer keypad encased in an upper and lower powder-coated die cast aluminum housing. Waterproof, dustproof and chemical resistant, the housing features a gasket-sealed perimeter along with an area on the bottom for a gortex vent. Wear-proof legends on the elastomer are painted and laser etched with rhino coating for additional protection. A strong performance advantage comes from the Grizzly Xtreme ability to operate in low light environments due to LED backlit legends. The single USB cable with sealed strain relief provides a connection to both the keyboard buttons and FSR pointing device. An integrated 10-key numeric keypad adds to the utility. If fixed attachment is preferred, this keyboard contains four mounting points to provide easy system configuration and to satisfy applications with high vibration problems.
Many keyboard users operate within a set of constraints due to environmental and/or board functionality limitations. The toughened Grizzly Xtreme puts a powerful alternative in your hands.
