The Xymox XyWeld spacer involves a specialty adhesive bondedwith a proprietary heat activated process to yield a spacer that ismuch more robust than a standard PSA.XyWeld allows the use of membrane switches in applicationswhich may be exposed to water, dust, extreme temperatures, and harsh cleaners.

PCAP Switches or buttons often require backlighting when not used over a display. A translucent printed PEDOT circuit is the best choice. Xymox translucent PCAP sensors made with PEDOT and silver ink laminated to a pressure sensitive adhesive make a cost effective solution easily fitted into the final product.

A printed silver or carbon circuit can offer ESD as well as EMIRFI protection for many applications. It can be as simple as a printing pass added to a membrane switch or it can be a separate piece with a focus on just shielding. In many cases this may be more economical than a sprayed on shield or a metal box. Xymox can incorporate: Printed silver or carbon circuitryPerfs and folds allow for the shield to be formed and mated to fit your assembly

Tactile switch constructions that eliminate the top layer of the membrane switchStable forcesExcellent tactile feelVery long life cycles; in excess of one million actuationsXymox currently offers a wide variety of domes with the typical sizes being the 12.2 mm, 8.4 mm and 6 mm domes, as illustrated below:220g Force280g Force340g Force 12.2 mm420g Force220g Force280g Force 8.4 mm 220g Force280g Force 6 mm

No display? No backlight? Keep it simple with Xymox silver PCAP sensors. Screenprinted with conductive silver ink and laminated to pressure sensitive adhesive for final assembly.This silver circuit on the right is used on the underside of a plastic palm safety button to detect the presence of an operator.

In some applications, Xymox can provide an NFC antenna that is built into the layer construction. Using a printed silver pattern, the antenna can reside near the top of the layer construction to offer best performance. We can design based on: Printed silver circuitCustom patterned to mate with your IC

An exclusive Xymox manufacturing process produces the industrys highest quality polyester tactile domes in the graphic layer. This provides switch users with a keypad that has a strong, uniform tactile feel and a choice of standard or high temperature performance at an affordable price. And the combination of in-house manufacturing and design means shorter lead times.Polyester Dome Tactile Switches Features and BenefitsXymox-Polyester DomesDual Purpose - when the dome is formed in the overlay itself, the dome switch helps the user identify the key location and provides tactile feedback.Consistency - thanks to our in-house designed and manufactured equipment, we can produce a consistent dome switch from keypad to keypad and order to order.Withstands High Temperature - because we use a proprietary forming process developed in-house, the polyester is molecularly reshaped into the geometry of the dome, thus the memory of the plastic sheet is in the geometry of the dome.Crisp Tactile Feel - due to the process and the dome geometries developed, we can ensure a firm snap throughout the specified life of the switch.Reliability - tested beyond 2 million actuations.Design Flexibility - We can custom design our dome switches to meet any of our customers requirements . And additional domes on a given part can be added with little or no increase to the piece price.
