Customise your capacitive touch interface

A capacitive touch panel, which can be activated by a simple tap.

If you want to add a touch of elegance to your human-machine interface (HMI) and meantime enhancing the user experience, you need to customise your capacitive touch interface, this is capacitive touch panel, or Capacitive Touch Membrane Sensor Switch.

Kaike Electronics Technology is a professional designer and manufacturer in membrane switch and capacitive user interface membrane keypads technology in China mainland. 

Our capacitive touch membrane keypad consists of one or more capacitive touch buttons. 

We print the capacitive touch buttons/sensors on PET circuit with the transparent conductive ink. 

We also use ITO etching technology to make the capacitive touch buttons/sensors. 

Through the customized IC chip to control the touch function wanted. 

Except for the capacitive touch keypads we also manufacture the capacitive touch sensor circuits. 

By capacitive touch technology, the overlay materials can be very diverse and not only limited to PET or PC super thin films. 

For the normal capacitive membrane switch keypads, the function triggered by the mechanical buttons (metal domes or Polydome) and also the common membrane keypads only can use PET, PC film for the graphic overlay.

Use a heavy force to press the buttons to make the conductive pads of the Polydome or metal domes connected to the conductive pads on circuit layer, then become a loop circuit and occur the function. 

But for the capacitive touch membrane keypads or circuits, it is different. The overlay material can be thick glass, PMMA, Polycarbonate panel etc. It no longer limited to very thin film material. 

In addition, for the capacitive touch keypad no longer need heavy force to press buttons, you only need tiny touch the buttons, then the sensor pad can connect the circuit loop and occur the function Key Benefits of Capacitive Switches.

When designing your custom capacitive touch panel, you should think about below points:

• The possibility of adding backlighting

• The desired sensitivity

• The interface design

• The number of keys and their purpose

• The type of connector required

• The situation of the environment in which the Capacitive Touch Switches will be used

While customize your capacitive touch switch panel, pls pay attention to below ideas as well: 

• Backlighting can will make your capacitive touch panel look incredible!
  

• Graphic overlay finishes can be glossy, anti-reflective, textured, mirror effect, metallic effect, faux stainless steel…

• Design materials can be polyester, acrylic, polycarbonate, silicone, antimicrobial 

• Connector options to choose male collector, female connector, soldered, or ZIF to adapt your product

• Support panel can integrate a rigid plate to enhance the user experience and provide a turnkey product.
