Rubber keypads

Rubber keypads are manufactured from silicone rubber properties that are typically processed from either injection or compression molding. They have exceptional resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental factors, making them an ideal choice for products exposed to harsh environmental conditions, moisture, chemicals, etc
 

Ideal Jacobs offer a wide range of design possibilities due to the many sizes, shapes, and colors that it can be molded into. Our rubber switches be easily integrated into both flex circuitry and PCB-based membrane switch assemblies allowing for both reduction in cost and assembly time.

What is Dead Front

 

Dead front panels are designed to ensure that the symbols or graphics on a panel are not readily visible unless they are lit up with a light source.

 

The dead front can be created during the printing process and can utilized for gauges, dashboards, or instruments panel overlays.
