Customization Silicone Button Key Carbon Pill Rubber Keypad
Our Custom Silicone Button Key Carbon Pill Rubber Keypad is a top-tier choice in conductive silicone technology, recognized for its exceptional durability that outperforms traditional conductive ink keypads. Made from graphite-infused rubber, these keypads ensure reliable electrical conduction upon activation. Key components include carbon pills and graphite pads, known for their cost-effectiveness and low resistance, created by blending carbon with silicone to reduce volume resistivity. Manufactured through silicone compression molding, these keypads guarantee precision and consistency, with carbon pills available in textured and smooth styles. Manufacturers can choose from four conductive methods—conductive ink, carbon pills, metal domes, and gold pills—based on specific resistance needs and application requirements, enabling tailored solutions for high performance.
Surface Treatment:
1. Laser Etching
Precision laser technology is employed to engrave intricate designs or text onto the surface of silicone keypads, resulting in durable and accurate markings.
2. Printing
Various printing techniques, such as silk-screen or pad printing, can be utilized on silicone keypads to apply logos, symbols, or custom designs in vibrant colors.
3. Coating
Silicone keypads can receive a protective coating, such as polyurethane (PU) or silicone oil, to enhance durability, improve tactile feel, and resist dust and moisture.
4. Embossing and Debossing
Embossing elevates specific areas of the keypad surface, adding texture or emphasizing key regions, while debossing creates indentations to provide a tactile response.
5. Texture Molding
Textured molds are utilized during silicone injection molding to impart specific finishes, such as matte or stippled patterns, enhancing both grip and visual appeal.
Silicone Key with Carbon Pill Production Process
Our Silicone Button Key Carbon Pill Rubber Keypad stands apart in its production process, diverging from conventional keypads. Unlike the post-molding application of conductive ink, our process involves embedding carbon pills directly into the silicone compound prior to molding. Utilizing specialized tools, carbon pills are strategically placed within the mold cavity, ensuring seamless integration with the silicone material during vulcanization. Precise control of curing times and mold temperature is paramount for successful integration. Lower temperatures risk carbon pill displacement, while higher temperatures can lead to fusion with the silicone material.
Advantages of Carbon Pill Integration
Extended Lifespan: Experience longevity with our Carbon Pill Rubber Keypad. Unlike conductive ink keypads, carbon pill switches boast exceptional durability, resisting wear and maintaining consistent resistance over time. Bid farewell to concerns about electrical resistance escalation with prolonged use.
Cost-Effective Solution: Our Carbon Pill Rubber Keypad offers a budget-friendly alternative for silicone rubber keypad manufacturing. Compared to pricier options like metal dome or gold pill keypads, carbon pills provide a cost-saving avenue without compromising quality.
