Membrane switch is defined by ASTM (American Standards Test Methods) subcommittee on Membrane Switches as: "A momentary switch device in which at least one contact is on, or made of, flexible substrate" It is now a very important user interface in all types of modem electronic application. It works in a low voltage loop and supplies momentary signals.
Following drawings are the typical solutions of membrane switch ElecFlex provides
