CUSTOM MEMBRANE SWITCH PANELS MANUFACTURER
MEMBRANE SWITCHES
At IP Tech, we are a membrane switch panels manufacturer with industry specific capabilities in design, engineering and manufacturing of custom membrane switch panels and keypads. Our team being comprised of talent from industry leading companies, specializes in solving complex problems with robust solutions for the medical, industrial, military and consumer goods industries.
WHAT IS A MEMBRANE SWITCH PANEL?
Membrane switch panels are electronic input devices made up of multiple layers bonded together using pressure sensitive adhesives to create a completely sealed and ultra-thin profile human-to-machine interfacing solution. Usually with a graphic overlay or a rubber keypad as the top layer.
Because of their multi-layered construction, there are nearly endless options for appearance and function. With the ability to conform to nearly any shape with tight manufacturing tolerances make membrane switch panels a perfect solution across multiple industries for product designers, engineers and components buyers.
