Primer
First of all, ElecFlex is able to provide PCB based membrane switch at ALMOST EQUAVALENT COSTS to standard membarane switch. Why? We are good at PCB and PCBA supply chain. Many of our customers has moved to rigid PCB based membrane switch to gain better performance and reliability!
Rigid-PCB based membrane switch uses rigid-PCB(cooper leads) instead of PET based silver ink printed circuit. It is very suitable for those applications which have complicated circuit layout(in tiny space), or need many electric component(such as LEDs,resistances,chips &etc.) mounted. It is with very high durability, reliability and long lifecycle.
