Membrane switches are electro-mechanical devices that combine a moving switch actuator with a pressure sensitive membrane. The membrane is made of flexible conductive material and can be either flat or domed. The various combinations of these elements produce a wide variety of switch characteristics, making them suitable in different applications. A membrane switch is an… Continue reading What are membrane switches?
