Unlike traditional keypads with moving keys, membrane keypads are pressure sensitive, with key outlines or symbols printed on a flat waterproof surface. A wide variety of products employ membrane keypads, such as remote controls and microwave ovens, printers and switches.
Industrial Uses
Membrane keypads are a part of many consumer products, but you can also find them in industries where hygiene is important or where systems are exposed to extreme environments. For example, medical technology, the automotive industry and the disposal and recycling industry use membrane keypads.
