Product Overview
A Silk Printing Silicone Keypad provides visible labels on the keys of a compatible remote control. The legend size, contrast and position should suit the portion of each key that remains exposed through the assembled housing.
Check the key arrangement from the normal viewing direction. A label centered on the loose rubber may appear offset if the housing hides part of the key or the keypad is not located correctly. Keep longer legends clear of heavily curved edges where they can be harder to read.
The mechanical alignment deserves a separate check. Each key should move freely through its opening and return without its printed face scraping the bezel. Evaluate the input response with the intended circuit and contact construction. During assembly, protect the printed surface from adhesive residue and sharp handling tools. Use cleaning methods suited to the chosen silicone and printing system rather than assuming a cleaner safe for the housing is also suitable for the key legends. Replace torn or permanently distorted components through the remote's intended service process.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Each key should move freely through its opening and return without its printed face scraping the bezel.
- Custom dimensions
- The legend size, contrast and position should suit the portion of each key that remains exposed through the assembled housing.
- Fit & assembly
- A label centered on the loose rubber may appear offset if the housing hides part of the key or the keypad is not located correctly.
- Use & inspection
- Use cleaning methods suited to the chosen silicone and printing system rather than assuming a cleaner safe for the housing is also suitable for the key legends.

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.
