Six points of metal domes with poor or no conduction reasons and solutions

Monday, March 31st, 2014

If there is metal dome with poor conduction, or no conduction, then we have to analyze, mainly in the following six reasons and and solutions:

(1). Metal domes contact side with dirty;
Solution: clearn the dirty, or replace the metal dome.

(2). The gap is too small to affect the key when pressed;
Solution: According to the size and height to design product.

(3). Metal dome shape doesn’t match the shape of the board PADs;
Solution: we can send you the pcb pad design for the metal domes, you can have a check and re-design.

(4). Double metal domes ;
Solution: exclude double metal domes.

(5).PCB board Goldfinger is oxidated;
Solution: Check the circuit board, and replace.

(6). Metal domes can’t press down as the EMI metal dome array  “ear”;
Solution: Change the metal dome “ears” position or increase the height of the metal dome.

Metal dome PCB pad design

Monday, March 17th, 2014

As you know, metal domes are generally used in PCB printed circuit board, how do we design the PAD of pcb is very improtant for us? Please check the below details.

For different shape of metal dome, PCB pad design is not the same; For the different layers of the PCB, it is also not the same. Look at the following picture which is several types of metal dome pcb pad design:

If you want to get more information, please contact us, we are the leading manufacturer in this line.

Metal dome and metal dome array is RoHS-compliant?

Monday, November 25th, 2013

Do our company produces metal dome and metal dome array is RoHS-compliant? Answer is yes, our products are not only sales in domestic, but also exported to Europe, America and many other foreign markets, so it must be with RoHS standard.

RoHS is the EU legislation to establish a mandatory standard, which stands for “Restriction of Hazardous Substances”. The standard was implemented by July 1, 2006, mainly for electrical and electronic products, materials and process standards, making it more conducive to human health and the environment. The purpose of this standard is to eliminate the lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers of six substances in electronic products.

If you need our products metal dome and metal dome array RoHS report, please feel free to contact our sales staff.
