Shielding Types

Custom membrane switches need shielding. This addition protects the switches from the damage of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD).

These shields can be terminated one of three different ways:

Tab

The switch's tab can be connected to a stud of standoff located on the metal enclosure or backer.

Connector

The pin on the switch tail can also terminate the shield.

Conductive Adhesive

Electrically conductive adhesives can also be used to connect

We also offer three different types of shielding for custom keypads:

The pin on the switch tail can also terminate the shield.

ITO Clear Conductive Shield
