membrane switch

A Membrane Switch is a type of electrical switch that is commonly used in various electronic devices. It consists of a flexible membrane or keypad with printed circuitry that can be pressed or touched to make electrical contact. When pressure is applied to the membrane switch, the circuit is closed and the desired function is activated.

Membrane switches are often used in applications where a durable and reliable switch is needed, such as in industrial control panels, medical devices, and consumer electronics. They are preferred for their low profile design, resistance to moisture and dirt, and ease of customization with different colors, graphics, and tactile feedback options.
