Maybe you don’ t know it (metal dome), but maybe you use it (tactile domes) every day, no matter when you lock and unlock your car or play video games with your kids with the remote control, they (metal dome) could be found in all kinds of electronic products, because of them (metal dome), our lives become better and simple.
So what’s metal dome?
Metal dome (also you can call metal snap dome, or tactile metal dome), made of stainless steel, are momentary switch contacts that, when used in conjunction with a PCB, flex circuit, or membrane switch, become normally-open tactile switches.
