DURASWITCH
PUSHGATE
If
you require a membrane switch - you MUST consider the Duraswitch
Pushgate.
Duraswitch
PushGate is manufactured by Markit Graphics under license to Duraswitch
Industries of Arizona USA.
It's
unique patented pushbutton design combines the advantages of discrete
mechanical and flat panel membrane switches with a host of other
benefits that make it ideal for next-generation products
The
unique cantilver action of the armature allows the crisp tactile
feel to remain even when using thick overlays, such as when an electroluminescent
panel or RFI Shield is mounted above the switch layer.
The
thin profile PushGate pushbuttons are cost effective and simple
in design. Nothing in the marketplace today comes close to this
technology for reliability and durability. Its crisp, consistent
tactile feel does not degrade over time differentiating it substantially
from conventional mechanical and membrane switches.
By
using the patented Duraswitch Island® integration construction
design, our PushGate pushbuttons,
thiNcoder® Rotor and MagnaMouse™
multi-directional control, can all be combined in one flex circuit
less than 3mm thick.
