Membrane Switch Design Guide
Since membrane switches are custom designed to meet specific applications, each product will have its own criteria to meet. JRPanel has used its more than 20 years of membrane switch experience to compile some of the most critical guidelines to designing and specifying our products. The use of these guidelines will help ensure that all aspects of product design are considered as to maximize the aesthetic quality, reliability, and efficiency of the final product.
