Description

If you next project requires a keypad, EECO’s elastomer keypads deliver a “custom” look and feel at a very “standard” price.
 Made from durable silicone rubber, EECO Elastomer keypads are available in either conductive or non-conductive configurations to suit any design requirement.  The keypad may interface directly with a printed circuit board (conductive) or with a membrane or other type of switch (non-conductive).  Applications are limitless.
 There are two basic types of elastomer keypad:
 INTEGRAL:  One-piece construction incorporating the keys and the keymat.  This type may be constructed in one or several colors, and with or without legends or other special features.  This type of keypad is designed to fit directly into a bezel, typically in hand held devices.
 INNER:  A keymat designed to act as a switching or spring layer between the keys and a PCB or membrane switching circuit.  This type of design is now very common in full travel keyboards, and has replaced the traditional mechanical switch keyboard.

EECO integral keypads are offered with or without legends, and in solid colors or natural, translucent rubber.  Translucent keypads are used for back lit applications.  The keys may be field-lighted (solid legend on a translucent, lighted background) or reverse field lighted (illuminated legend on a solid background.
 
All EECO elastomer keypads are compression molded to exacting standards.  Molds may be single cavity tools for prototype or low volume production, or large, multi-cavity tools for high volume requirements.  EECO will assist you in your design to find the most economical financial solution.
 EECO elastomer keypads offer the design engineer a wide range of colors, shapes, and finishes to enhance the beauty and functionality of the product.
 
EECO SWITCH is one of the few manufacturers of both electro-mechanical switches and elastomer keypads. Our elastomer keypads are found in the most demanding applications worldwide. Rely on EECO SWITCH for the quality and reliability your demand. Why trust your elastomer keypad design to anyone else?
