Snaptron offers Peel-N-Place arrays, the most common way to secure tactile domes to your PCB or flex circuit. Typically, metal domes are not solderable. Therefore, when you actuate a dome, the center collapses, making contact with the circuit. As this happens, the legs of the dome flex out. Restricting this movement with solder can affect […]
You can place metal domes on your membrane switch, flex circuit, or circuit board in various ways. Metal domes can be placed in pockets or attached to adhesive tape. The most common way to secure metal domes to your substrate is with pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape. Metal domes backed with PSA tape are called PEEL-N-PLACE™arrays […]
