Rubber Single Button Conductive Silicone Keypads

A Rubber Single Button provides a flexible control at one operating position. In a conductive design, the button's movement must bring the contact area into the intended relationship with the underlying circuit. Its location and travel are therefore part of the complete switch design, alongside the exposed shape the user presses.

Dimensions, hardness, color and markings can be customized. Match the button to the enclosure opening and provide the movement required by the selected contact arrangement. Check that the housing does not hold one edge of the button down after assembly or prevent it from returning fully.

Evaluate electrical response and operating feel together in the finished assembly. A conductive contact alone does not establish contact resistance, switching life or a particular tactile response. Keep the contact area clean during fitting, and avoid handling it with tools that can mark the surface. If operation becomes inconsistent, inspect alignment, contamination and wear before assuming that a harder or softer button will resolve the issue.

Material options

Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.

Hardness selection

Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Check that the housing does not hold one edge of the button down after assembly or prevent it from returning fully.

Custom dimensions

Match the button to the enclosure opening and provide the movement required by the selected contact arrangement.
