What is PCB Layout for Dome Array? Metal Dome Array PCB Pad
PCB layout for dome array is the design pattern on a circuit board that defines where each metal dome sits and connects electrically. When pressed, the dome bridges two pads to send a signal. This layout ensures accurate alignment, stable … Continue reading →
What is a car dome light switch? Car switch
Car dome light switch controls when and how the dome light turns on or off. It may seem minor, but without it, finding your keys or checking something inside your car at night would be a hassle. What Is a … Continue reading →
What is surface mount device? SMD dome switch
What is surface mounted device? Surface mounted device (SMD) is an electronic component designed to be placed directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB). Unlike traditional through-hole components, which require leads to pass through drilled holes, SMDs … Continue reading →
What is a Snap Switch? Snap Dome Switch
What is a Snap Switch? A snap switch—also called a snap-action switch—is a type of electrical switch that opens or closes a circuit when a small amount of physical force is applied to its actuator. Unlike regular switches, which move … Continue reading →
What is Haptic Tactile Feedback? Haptic Feedback vs Tactile Feedback
Haptic tactile feedback refers to the physical sensations or vibrations users feel when interacting with a device, simulating the sense of touch. It’s what makes your smartphone vibrate when you tap a button or your car’s touchscreen respond with a … Continue reading →
What Is a Dome Switch Array? Metal Dome Keyboard
A dome switch array is a sheet of metal domes arranged to form multiple tactile contact points. When pressed, each dome provides a crisp click, similar to a metal dome keyboard. What Is a Metal Dome Switch Array? A metal … Continue reading →
What is a Tactile Dome Switch? Snap Dome Tactile Switch
A tactile dome switch, also known as a snap dome tactile switch, is a type of momentary contact switch designed to provide a crisp, responsive “click” feeling when pressed. It uses a small metal dome as the contact mechanism, which … Continue reading →
What is EMI Shielding Metal Dome? EMI Shielding Design Guide
An EMI shielding metal dome is a tactile switch component designed to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) while maintaining precise electrical performance. Made from conductive stainless steel, it serves a dual purpose — providing tactile feedback for user interfaces and acting … Continue reading →
What Is Metal Dome SMT Assembly? Metal Dome Array
Metal dome SMT assembly is an automated process that mounts metal domes directly onto a PCB using high-speed SMT equipment. Instead of manually placing each dome, the domes are packed in tape-and-reel format and picked by SMT machines like standard … Continue reading →
How to Use Metal Dome? Metal snap dome
How to use metal dome? Metal snap domeMetal snap domes are used as tactile switch elements in keypads and control panels. They sit between the PCB circuit and the overlay. When pressed, the dome collapses to complete the circuit and … Continue reading →
