|
|
| |
Dome Switch
|
|
Dome switches are tactile switches under a rubber bubble or dome. When the switch is pressed it collapses the dome and makes the switch contact. Dome switches are commonly used in keywords and membrane keypads. They are generally fairly quiet when operated, so are a good choice for office and consumer environments.
|
| |
Keyswitch
|
|
Keyswitches are tactile mechanical switches designed for keyboards and Keypads. They are designed to give the user sensory or tactile feedback that the button or switch has made contact with the control panel beneath, usually a printed circuit board.
|
| |
Tact Switch
|
|
Tact switches are tactile electromechanical switches designed for keyboard, keypad, instruments or interface control panel applications. They are designed to give the user sensory or tactile feedback that the button or switch has made contact with the control panel beneath, usually a printed circuit board.
|
| |
Touch-sensitive Switch
|
|
Touch-sensitive switches operate by human touch, as opposed to making or breaking a mechanical connection by pushing a button or flipping a switch. Many different principles can be used to operate a touch-sensitive switch, including temperature, resistance, radio reception, acoustic resonance dampening, or capacitance. Touch-sensitive switches typically do not provide any tactile feedback.
