Silicone Keypads
Silicone keyboards are made up of a silicone sheet comprising silicone keys, which are soft to the touch, and most often conductive pads which make it possible to establish contact with the electrodes of the printed circuit when the key is pressed.
The key then returns to its starting position thanks to the elasticity of the silicone.

Benefits
Silicone keyboards are suitable for all areas of application of printed circuits: telephony, remote controls, calculators, computer keyboards, radios, toys, musical instruments, photocopiers, and door entry systems, and are intended for all industrial sectors such as electronic banking, household appliances, instrumentation, medical, automotive, IT, home automation, etc….
They allow a higher typing speed, resist extreme temperatures (high and low), and abrasive environments, and offer a perfect seal against fluids and dust.
