Metal Domes

Standard Structure

 

 

Coaxial circle contact pad & plain metal
dome.

Advantage: High reliability
Disadvantage: double-sided board required
for circuit patterning

A = Domeø + 0.8mm
B = Domeø - 1.0mm

Raised Structure

Semi-coaxial pad & plain metal dome

Advantage: Single-sided circuit patterning, high click ratio

Bridge Structure

Bossed dome & short bar contact bridge
FPC (ø6.0mm dome only)

 

Advantage: Single-sided circuit patterning,
high click ratio
Disadvantage: only for ø6.0mm dome

Using the short bar contact, shown above,
on a rigid PCB with metal dome may cause
a defect in the electrical contact of on-
timing, due to a combination of
microscopic unevenness of plating
thickness on the conductor and dome
