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 →
What Are Capacitive Buttons? Capacitive Touch PCB Buttons
What Is a Capacitive Button? A capacitive button is a type of touch-sensitive switch that detects changes in electrical capacitance when a finger or conductive object nears its surface. Instead of relying on physical pressure like a mechanical button, it … Continue reading →
What are SMD switches? How to choose?
What Is an SMD Switch? An SMD switch (Surface Mount Device switch) is a compact electrical switch designed for surface mounting directly onto a PCB. Unlike traditional through-hole switches, which require drilling holes for leads, SMD switches sit flat on … Continue reading →
What Are Tactile Dome Switch? Dome switch keypad
Tactile dome switches are a type of momentary contact switch that provide a crisp, responsive “click†feeling when pressed, offering both tactile and audible feedback to users. Built with a small metal dome positioned between a circuit board and overlay, … Continue reading →
What is Metal Dome for Remote Control? Snap Dome Buttons
Metal dome for remote control is a small, snap-action component used inside the keypad to provide precise tactile feedback when a button is pressed. Acting as the core of a metal dome switch or tactile dome switch, it ensures a … Continue reading →
What is a High Temperature Metal Dome?
High temperature metal dome is a heat-resistant switch made from durable stainless steel or nickel-plated material. It keeps stable performance and tactile feedback under extreme heat, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, and aerospace use. In a metal dome array, … Continue reading →
What Is a Flexible Dome Array? Metal Dome Array
A flexible dome array, also called a metal dome array, is a thin PET sheet with metal domes that provide tactile feedback when pressed. Each dome completes an electrical circuit, creating a crisp “click†feel. Thanks to its flexible structure, … Continue reading →
How to clean metal dome contacts?
Metal dome contacts are the heart of tactile switches. They create that crisp “click†feedback users love in control panels, remote controls, and membrane keypads. But over time, dirt, oil, or oxidation can reduce their performance. Cleaning metal dome contacts … Continue reading →
