Membrane Switches

In its nearly 40 years as a company, VIS has a sterling record of providing highly engineered and reliable membrane, mechanical, capacitive switches — and other pointing and input devices — to many of the world’s largest OEM organizations.

Membrane switches can be thought of as a user interface like touch screens, plastic keyboards, toggle switches and many other kinds of control systems. The buttons and controls can be as simple as tactile switches for controlling lighting, and they can be as complicated as membrane keyboards and switch panels for use with computers. The main benefits of membrane switches include their low profile, ease of cleaning, sealing capabilities, and wide design flexibility. Membrane switch can be used together with other control systems such as touch screens, keyboards, lighting, and they can also be complicated like the membrane keyboards and switch panels in mobiles and computers. Membrane switches are reliable, effective, low-cost user interfaces, suitable for a wide range of products and across multiple end-use applications and markets.

Our experienced applications engineering staff will consult with you about options for materials, panel construction, design, engineering, safeguarding methods, graphics, product life expectancies and cost efficiencies for all types and configurations of switching and sensing technologies.
