Modern membrane touch switch material systems from DuPont allow sophisticated multilayer designs to be built that are capable of many functions in addition to simple switching:
- they can be backlit
- have IC chips and passive components attached to increase functionality
- have miniature LEDs or LCDs built into the membrane for visual switching confirmation
- have EMI and ESD shielding incorporated
Their "high-tech" appearance, cost-effective versatility, low profile and reliability have made membrane touch switches indispensable in applications as diverse as low-cost toys, appliance switches, industrial control systems, computer keyboards, telephones, potentiometers, digitizers and high-performance aerospace and military devices.
Typical MTS products: silver conductors, silver/carbon conductors, UV dielectrics and resistors.
