Membrane Keypads for Switches
Membrane Keypads for Switches
Keypads are an economical alternative to conventional mechanical switches, and are used extensively in a wide range of electronic applications and industries.
They are manufactured from polyester or incorporate a printed circuit board as the circuit layer. Overlay and spacer can be provided for assembly to your Printed Circuit Board (PCB) if required.
They are supplied with a flexible tail for connection while PCB based designs can incorporate connectors on the rear for the connection of ribbon cable or similar.
- Hard wearing
- Adhesive backed
- Proven, reliable compact switch technology
Solutions
Backlighting
Keypad design can incorporate backlighting in the form of Electroluminescent (EL) or Lumitex Fibre-Optic Panels. Easy integration of these technologies into the switch structure, allows button graphics to be lit even when using metal domes for tactile feedback.
Electronic Component Integration
Membrane Keypads also offer the option to integrate devices such as led's and resistors within the assembly. Integration by such will reduce the time spent aligning led's behind a graphic panel.
Design Possibilities
As the front surface of the keypad is essentially an overlay panel, all the design options that are available for overlays apply to membrane keypads.
Backing Panels
We can supply membrane keypads pre-assembled onto backing panels manufactured from steel, aluminium polycarbonate or PETG, which in turn can also incorporate mounting holes, standoffs and studs if required.

Reid Industrial Graphic Products supplies membrane keypads as an alternative to mechanical switches, using a polyester or printed-circuit-board circuit layer. Backlighting with Electroluminescent or Lumitex fibre-optic panels illuminates button graphics, including when metal domes provide tactile feedback. For keypad assemblies that need PCB fitment, overlay and spacer components are available for assembly to the customer’s printed circuit board when required.
- Flexible tails connect keypads; PCB designs can use rear ribbon-cable connectors
- LEDs and resistors can be integrated within the keypad assembly
- Adhesive-backed construction
- Backing panels: steel, aluminium, polycarbonate or PETG; holes, standoffs, studs optional
