Custom Products Insights & Resources About Us Contact Us Home Membrane Switches A membrane switch is a multi-layered, flat electrical switch used to activate and deactivate circuits. Because the switch is perfectly sealed one layer to the next, it is the ideal switch for harsh environments, including outdoor applications. In contrast to mechanical switches, membrane switches offer: The ability to print on flexible, heat stabilized materials using conductive inks Superior reliability combined with low-cost performance Increased graphic appeal of a printed overlay Are Membrane Switches the Right Solution for Your Application? They can be custom designed for hundreds of applications, from simple control panels for heavy machinery to complicated and sensitive medical devices. Membrane switches are the perfect user-interface solution where reliability and low risk to breakage is required. Membrane switches are typically made of five layers: Backer adhesive Flexible silver ink circuit with its connecting tail Spacer Metal domes Buffer and top overlay Why Choose Bovie?
