A silicone rubber membrane switch panel has the design versatility to assimilate any shape and still meet the mechanical and electrical properties specified. They are inexpensive and can be designed to meet your tactile feel requirements. A membrane switch panel emulates traditional push-button style, but it does not have the inherent disadvantages mechanical ones contain. They are generally used in applications needing a reliable and long life unit. They can also be called rubber boots. Highly resistant to water, oxidation, high temperatures, and most chemicals and solvents are characteristics of a rubber membrane switch panel.
