What is a Membrane Switch

Membrane Switch is not a term that is heard often, but it is something that a lot of people see on a daily basis. Membranes switch panels and overlays are found on keyboards, remote controls, and security alarm keypads. They provide simple labels to give directions to the users about the function of each button.



Typical membrane switches incorporates the following layered components :
  • Graphic presentation layer
  • Graphic adhesive layer
  • Circuit board or PCB layer
  • Adhesive separator layer
  • Optional second circuit or PCB layer
  • Adhesive layer

One thing you should know about membrane switch capabilities is its contribution to the durability of the device it covers. Anything that is touch activated is expected to wear down over time, and membrane switches are no different. But they can be replaced when they begin to look worn, so that the actual electronics will not be exposed.
