Molex is offering OEMs an array of flat panel switches and switch assemblies suitable for electronic device user interface.

Industries served by Molex include: appliance, automotive, industrial equipment, medical device and diagnostics, military and telecoms.

Custom keypad and switch solutions may include membrane switches, embedded LEDs, display flex assemblies, polyester or metal dome arrays, PCB-substrate passive and active front panel keypads, and silicone rubber keypad assemblies.

Capabilities include:

Low-profile control panel assemblies intended for touch-pad applications, combining both the switch contact system and custom electronics into one complete package.

Membrane switches with bonded LED assemblies where applying LEDs to flex circuits can now be accomplished with high-speed SMT and proprietary bonding technology.

Capacitive switches that incorporate solid-state circuitry in an interface that is resistant to multiple key presses, water, dirt, contaminants and EMI.

Rubber keypads for more switch travel, tactile and cosmetic appeal, with the reliability of membrane switches with the aesthetics of silicone-rubber keypads.

Low-profile ClipLok mechanical spring clip connectors that attach the membrane switch tail to a PCB.
