GX-SERIES
Our GX-Series metal tactile domes are four-legged switch
contacts that were designed for mounting on single or double
sided printed circuit boards, flex circuits and membranes,
where traces can be fed under the domes on the same side of
the board. What differentiates the GX-Series from other four-leg
metal domes is the shape and structure of the domes. The square
shape of the domes allows for an extended contact cycle,
in a very small diameter. Applications with limited board
space, where a very small diameter and an extended life cycle
requirement are needed are a perfect fit with the GX-Series
domes. The GX-Series domes come in one size, and can be used
anywhere a momentary switch with tactile feedback is required,
while still achieving impressive actuation life cycles. The
GX-Series domes are placed on a PC board by means of pressure
sensitive adhesive tape. In their relaxed state they rest
on the outer rim of the primary pathway. When they are pushed,
the centers of the domes collapse and make contact with the
secondary pathway, thereby closing the circuit. |
