Silicone Keypads

Silicone keypads are the perfect balance between functionality and cost effectiveness. IMP Electronics Solutions is pleased to offer this versatile product to our customers.

Silicone keypads have been used in millions of applications around the world, in everything from TV remote controls to the keypads on the international space station. Silicone keypads hold up to extreme temperatures and conditions when needed. The devices also cost less to manufacture than many alternatives.

Main Benefits of Silicone Rubber Keypads:

• Silicone keypads can resist temperatures ranging from extremely cold to extremely hot. This means that they are ideal for applications in industrial equipment exposed to temperature extremes. It also means that they can stand up to temperature changes during device manufacture and shipment.
• Since silicone keypads have an elastic structure, there is virtually no noise when keys are pressed. This is ideal for noise-sensitive environments. It is also a positive for consumer environments where noise would be a distraction or annoyance.
• Silicone keypads give the user tactile feedback as well as linear feedback. The amount of feedback can be adjusted based on the snap ratio of the rubber keypad (alterations in the silicon density and in the shape of the keys).
• Silicone is not inherently opaque, and we can make keypads that allow light through them. This makes the custom silicone rubber keypads perfect for applications where the keypad will be back-lit.
• Silicone rubber keypads are water and dust resistant. This attribute makes them the keypad of choice for hospitals and other environments where devices must be sterilised and cleaned after use.
