Product Introduction

Metal dome (also known as metal dome, snap dome), (because the switch is like a pot upside down, so commonly known as the pot piece, or 'pot piece'), the English metal dome, made of stainless steel, is an important part of the switch, with the metal dome of the conductivity, between the user and the product to play a quality switch role. At the same time, the use of metal shrapnel's stable rebound force (automatic reset after pressing), its characteristics of long life, to provide users with quality tactile feedback. The material used for metal shrapnel is relatively thin (usually 0.05mm~0.15mm) stainless steel strip (steel grade usually used 301 or 304), metal shrapnel is an important part of the switch.

Metal shrapnel is mainly used in membrane switches, contact switches, PCB boards, FPC boards, medical devices and other products. The working principle of metal shrapnel: the metal shrapnel on the membrane keypad is located in the conductive part of the PCB board (mostly located above the gold finger on the circuit board), when pressed, the center point of the shrapnel is concave and touches the line on the PCB, thus forming a circuit, the current passes through and the whole product can work normally.

The shrapnel is made of imported stainless steel, which has a low carbon content (0.08%) and high oxidation resistance. The product has passed SGS certification, providing reliable quality assurance, and complies with EU REAH regulations and RoHS directive, the product meets the requirements of environmental protection.
