Product Overview
A Power Silicone Button provides a molded operating surface for a custom outdoor keypad. The control can be developed with a particular size, color and engraved or embossed identification so the power function remains easy to locate on the installed equipment. Its placement should be reviewed from the position where the user will actually approach the panel.
Consider visibility at different viewing angles and the room around the button for a deliberate press. If the intended use involves gloves, trial the selected profile with those gloves instead of assuming that a larger or softer key will be sufficient. The surrounding housing must leave the key free to move while supporting the rubber at its mounting area.
The waterproof title makes the enclosure interface an important design consideration, but it does not provide a numerical protection rating. Assess moisture exposure with the keypad fitted to the final panel. Keep the button perimeter clean during maintenance and remove lodged dirt gently. A torn or displaced rubber edge can affect both the operating movement and the way the front surface fits against its enclosure.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. A torn or displaced rubber edge can affect both the operating movement and the way the front surface fits against its enclosure.
- Custom dimensions
- The control can be developed with a particular size, color and engraved or embossed identification so the power function remains easy to locate on the installed equipment.
- Fit & assembly
- The surrounding housing must leave the key free to move while supporting the rubber at its mounting area.
- Use & inspection
- Keep the button perimeter clean during maintenance and remove lodged dirt gently.

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.
