Re: Membrane-switch material/process on PCB's

2003-05-24 by rolanyang

I've seen very simple ultra-low profile switches 
on some PCB's.
The mechanism seems to be a flexible concave piece
of metal which, when pushed down, "pops" into the 
depressed state, but has enough springiness to
pop back up when released. The buttons are usually
taped to the board with a strip of adhesive tape.
