Membrane switches are thin, flexible electrical circuits used to control devices and machines. They typically consist of several layers, including a graphic interface, pressure-sensitive adhesives, and conductive traces.
Unlike traditional mechanical switches, membrane switches don’t have moving parts, making them lightweight, durable, and easy to clean. They’re commonly used in medical devices, industrial equipment, home appliances, and control panels because of their reliability, compact design, and resistance to moisture, dust, and chemicals.
At Scrint Technology (M) Sdn Bhd, we specialize in crafting high-quality membrane switches tailored to meet the diverse needs of industries worldwide. Our membrane switches are engineered for durability and aesthetic appeal.
We specialize in crafting high-quality membrane switches tailored to meet the needs of demanding industries. Designed for performance and reliability, our membrane switches offer:
Designed for high-traffic environments, the hard-coated surface improves resistance to scratches, abrasions, and chemical exposure. This ensures the graphic layer remains clear and intact over time, even under frequent use or cleaning.
Our switches can be produced with an antibacterial coating, making them ideal for use in environments where hygiene is critical. This feature is especially valuable in medical settings, food processing areas, or public interfaces, helping to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination.
We offer both tactile (with noticeable feedback) and non-tactile (smooth press) designs, depending on the application and user preference. Tactile switches provide a physical “click” feeling, which is ideal for industrial or field applications, while non-tactile designs support sleek, minimalist devices.
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) LEDs can be embedded into the membrane layers, offering built-in backlighting or status indication. This improves usability in low-light environments and enhances the overall look and feel of the interface.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can harm sensitive electronics. Our membrane switches come with built-in ESD shielding, ensuring protection for both the switch and the connected device. This is crucial for maintaining the reliability of electronic systems in sensitive or high-voltage environments.
Membrane switches are perfect for medical devices, industrial equipment, marine systems, and consumer electronics. Their durability, slim design, and resistance to moisture and chemicals make them ideal for demanding environments and high-usage applications.
Water-resistant, sealed surfaces make Scrint membrane switches reliable for marine navigation systems and control panels, where exposure to moisture and salt is common.
With features like antibacterial surfaces and sealed designs, our switches are perfect for hospital equipment, diagnostic tools, and laboratory interfaces that require hygienic, durable, and easy-to-clean controls.
Durable, customizable, and built to withstand vibration, dust, and chemicals, Scrint membrane switches are ideal for manufacturing controls, machinery panels, and heavy-duty equipment.
From home appliances to consumer control interfaces, membrane switches offer a modern, clean design with long-lasting performance, suitable for a wide range of everyday electronic products.
Membrane switches are simple touch-activated circuits, while membrane keypads include labeled buttons for full user interaction. Keypads offer a more complete interface, while switches are often used for basic or integrated control functions.
