Surface Treatment Options:
- Silk Screen Printing– A durable and cost-effective method for adding legends, symbols, and branding to the keypad surface.
- Laser Etching– A precise process that removes the top coating to reveal contrasting colors underneath, commonly used for backlit keypads.
- PU Coating (Polyurethane Coating)– A protective layer that enhances wear resistance and extends the keypad’s lifespan.
- Epoxy Coating– A glossy, hard coating that provides extra durability and a premium tactile feel.
Production Process:
- Raw Material Preparation– High-quality silicone rubber is selected, mixed, and prepared for molding.
- Compression Molding– The silicone material is placed into a precision mold and compressed under high temperature and pressure to form the keypad structure.
- Surface Treatment– Various finishing techniques such as silk screen printing, laser etching, PU coating, or epoxy coating are applied to enhance durability, aesthetics, and functionality.
- Metal Dome Integration– Metal domes are precisely placed onto the contact points to provide tactile feedback and improve switch response.
- Conductive Printing (if required)– Conductive inks or carbon pills are applied to the contact areas to ensure electrical conductivity.
- Cutting and Punching– The molded keypad is trimmed and punched to achieve the required dimensions and specifications.
- Adhesive Backing Application (if needed)– Custom adhesive layers are applied for easy assembly onto circuit boards or enclosures.
- Quality Inspection & Testing– Each keypad undergoes rigorous inspections, including functional tests, dimensional checks, and durability assessments to ensure compliance with specifications.
- Packaging & Shipment– The finished keypads are carefully packed according to customer requirements and prepared for delivery.
