Membrane Switch (ESD Circuit)

ESD/EMI Shielded Membrane switch

Membrane switch with electrostatic shielding added is a typical electronic equipment protection design, and mainly used to prevent electrostatic discharge interference and electromagnetic interference (EMI) from affecting sensitive electronic components.

ESD Shields: They are typically made of conductive materials such as copper/aluminum foils, conductive fabric or conductive ink printing. Use to protect the sensitive electronic components of your membrane switch from the electrostatic discharge(ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Advantages:

• Improve the ESD resistance of the equipment (up to 8kV or higher)
• Reduce electromagnetic interference(EMI).
• Maintain the thin and light characteristics of the membrane switch
• Does not affect the tactile feel and lifetime of the switch

Applications

• Control panel of Medical equipment
• Industrial control equipment
• Aerospace instruments
• Control system of Automotive electronic
• Human-machine interface of military equipment
