The assembling instruction of dome array

June 17th, 2010

Some guys maybe contact the dome array first time, so they don’t know how to assemble the dome array on the circuit board. Now, please follow the below steps:

1). The dome array is supported by the protective paper, the paper will throw away when assembling.

2). Peel the transparent film with metal domes from the protective paper by forceps or other toolings.

3). Keep the adhesive side stick to the PCB, press a little time to make the metal dome array assemble firmly.

Please see the picture:
 Dome Array Assembly Instruction

Now, I think you are clear about assembling instruction of dome array. If you need any further information, please contact us.

Metal dome for membrane switches

June 8th, 2010

Which metal domes are used for membrane switches? The answer is the four-leg metal dome is mostly used in the membrane switches.
Four-leg metal dome has the good click feeling, much more life cycles, so it’s wildly used in the membrane switches. Our four-leg metal domes have many items, the diameter we have 5mm, 6mm, 8.4mm, 10mm, 12.2mm,1 6mm, 20mm, the force is from 150 to 400g, dimple or without dimple, and Nickel or gold plating are available.

The quality of our cross metal dome are very stable, we have a very strict quality control system to ensure. So If you have any inquiries about metal domeĀ  for membrane switches, please fell free to contact us.

Metal snap domes for cellphone

June 3rd, 2010

Which metal snap domes for cellphone?

There are normal circle and oblong shape metal domes. They are also normally made into the EMI dome array to assemble on the phone. Early, cellphone metal domes are two kinds, with or with one dimple, but now with the technology developing, there are also with three dimples, four dimples, five dimples happened in 2009. More dimples, better click feeling, but the life is a little less than before.

Circle metal dome: 3mm, 3.5mm, 4.5mm, 5mm are most used; Oblong metal dome: 5.0mm*3.8mm, 4.0*3.0 are most used.

If you need more infomation about metal domes, please contact us.

Can metal dome be soldered to printed circuit board?

May 31st, 2010

Can metal dome be soldered to printed circuit board? We aren’t recommend. When metal dome are pushed, the feet actually move outward slightly. When soldered to circuit board, the feet of the domes are restricted from their natural movement. This restriction can negatively affect the tactile response of the domes, and in some cases, cause irreparable damage to metal dome or break the solder joint. so we aren’t recommend to solder theĀ snap dome on printed circuit board.
