Product Overview
A conductive carbon pill provides the electrical contact feature beneath this silicone keypad button. It must align with the corresponding board pattern and move into contact as intended when the button is pressed. Dust and water exclusion involve a different interface, formed by the keypad and the surrounding enclosure.
Coordinate those requirements without assuming one guarantees the other. The button's contact position needs controlled support and travel, while any perimeter sealing arrangement needs suitable compression and uninterrupted mating surfaces. Clamping intended to improve a seal must not distort the moving section enough to cause rubbing or unwanted contact.
Evaluate the complete assembly for switching behavior and environmental protection under its specified conditions. Include off-center presses and operation after the housing is fully secured. Keep the contact underside clean during assembly, and inspect the perimeter seating separately if the enclosure has been opened. The presence of a conductive pill or silicone body alone does not establish a waterproof or dustproof rating for the finished control panel.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. The button's contact position needs controlled support and travel, while any perimeter sealing arrangement needs suitable compression and uninterrupted mating surfaces.
- Custom dimensions
- Clamping intended to improve a seal must not distort the moving section enough to cause rubbing or unwanted contact.
- Fit & assembly
- Keep the contact underside clean during assembly, and inspect the perimeter seating separately if the enclosure has been opened.
- Use & inspection
- The presence of a conductive pill or silicone body alone does not establish a waterproof or dustproof rating for the finished control panel.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
