Snaptron pre-loads metal dome arrays onto polyester carriers backed with pressure-sensitive adhesive. Engineers utilize them in numerous applications across various industries. You can custom-design dome arrays, also known as tactile domes for membrane switches, for your product. Precision is key to your company’s success, which is why we’ve designed a wide range of dome arrays specific to your industry.
Automotive Industry
The automotive industry has strict production protocols and processes when it comes to manufacturing cars and trucks. Automotive interiors now rely more on touch and voice to control commands. For those controls manipulated by touch, haptic feedback is key to keeping the driver and passengers comfortable. Steering wheel controls, key fobs, and heating and AC buttons all require tactile domes to function. Our domes are rated for millions of cycles, making them ideal for many automotive applications.
Medical Industry
Countless medical devices require touch to operate, including glucose monitors, lab equipment, ventilators, and medical imaging products. These devices need the right tactile domes and metal domes arrays to function correctly every time. A doctor or nurse may need to use a piece of equipment at a moment’s notice, and device failure can yield catastrophic results. That’s why it’s important to source metal domes developed in a controlled environment room. Which reduces the risk of pollutants that may affect the domes. Engineers design higher-quality domes for the medical industry, ensuring devices operate precisely every time.
Military Applications
Military, defense, and security contractors need precise products they can take into the field and use multiple times. Certain applications may also need to have “quiet” clicks that are inaudible to those nearby. With our metal domes, devices such as GPS units, field radios, and laser sights will work precisely in the field, and the robust construction of each dome means that they’ll withstand constant use for long periods of time.
Consumer Products
We’ve written before about how our dome arrays and individual snap domes power video game controllers, and engineers also design metal domes into many other consumer products. With a custom Peel-N-Place array, you can add metal domes to any printed circuit board that controls a phone, a GPS, or many other types of electronic devices.
Finally, if you’d like to learn more about metal dome arrays and how they can serve your industry, then please contact us today. We ship all of our tactile domes directly worldwide from our facility in Windsor, Colorado. You can request free samples of any dome model that you see on our website.
