How to assemble metal dome on the dome array?

October 8th, 2013

How to assemble metal dome on the dome array? This may no contact with metal dome production people are unaware of.

Generally, there are two ways:

1, The metal dome array is formed by a metal dome assembly tooling, we shake up the metal domes onto the metal dome array. We make metal dome assembly tooling according to the metal dome shape. The material is aluminum plates, and each factory will make with a different thickness;

2, Through the tube to assemble. This method with small tolerances, faster, but the cost is relatively higher, it’s suitable for the production of large quantities.

In general, the first method are most used by facories, as it’s more simple, convenient and easy to operate. If you want to learn more about metal dome array production knowledge,we always welcome you to visit our company! ! !

What are the metal domes testing equipments?

September 12th, 2013

Generally, what are the metal domes testing equipments? Products must pass strict quality inspection before shipment, so today we will have a look at the metal domes testing equipments:

1.Force Gauge : specifically test metal domes specifications: including force, re-force, stroke,click feeling, etc.;

Force Gauge

2 Life Testing: Test the life of metal domes. As metal domes are used in the key switches, the service is very important;

Life Testing

3. Resistance tester: Test material resistivity. Nickel resistance of the material is less than 10 ohms, gold plated is less than 1 ohm;

4 Height Tester: specifically for the detection of the production process. Anytime we will test the metal dome samples.

The above are main equipments for metal dome testing. If you want to know more, please feel free to contact us.

Metal dome or snap dome or tactile dome is the same product?

August 28th, 2013

Do you know metal dome? Why we also can call snap dome, tactile dome? Do they are the same products?

Metal domes are widly used for the membrane keypad and swithces. The material of the metal dome is the stainless steel, and it looks like a dome, so we call metal dome. When we press the metal dome, it has crackling sound, so we also call snap dome. Tactile dome is the same meaning.

CMD Manufacture is the leading manufacturer of the metal dome, snap dome, and tactile dome in China, if you need more information, please do feel free to contact us.

What’s the metal domes material?

August 19th, 2013

The metal domes (snap domes) material is general use stainless steel. Stainless steel in various countries, in general, the Japanese SUS301 is used often, but sometimes also use SUS304 material. The difference between these two materials is the chemical composition,304 carbon ratio is higher, but the hardness is note better than 301, so it is generally to use SUS301 to make metal domes (snap dome). Of course, there are some other materials, such as phosphor bronze C5210, One side with silver SUS from Korea.

The proper selection of materials is very improtant for product quality of metal domes(snap domes),if improper selection hardness of the material, it will generally result in “Death KEY” phenomenon (pressing down, then metal dome disappear automatically pops up function).We can’t find out this issue in short-time used and with eyes,we need life test machine and force test machine to test the result.

Our company has a professional production experience, so the choice of materials and incoming detection testing standards will be strictly in accordance with the strict inspection of incoming inspection, so our metal domes(snap domes) have maintained excellent quality.
