The click feeling of metal domes

June 14th, 2012

Sometimes we have received customers’ complaints of the click feeling of metal domes, In fact, according to the results of our tests, the data is in the normal range. But why customers complain about this issue?

The click feeling of metal domes = (force- reforce)/force, this is click feeling, usually controlled between 45% -75%. In fact, in metal domes production process, each lot have a little different for the force,so little change also for the feeling. In this industry for the tolerance of metal domes, it’s generally controlled at +/-30g range,so it’s impossible to control in exactly the same feeling.

So as long as it is not outside the tolerance range, it can still be acceptable.

If you have more questions, please feel free to contact us, we are the leading manufacture of metal dome, snap dome,dome arrays and dome sheet in China.

May 29th, 2012

Does the metal dome array adhesive sheet is not very strong? Recently we have received complaints of the two guests on the adhesive is not very strong. In fact, this is the same as we usually make the metal dome array.
Then how could this problem happen? We analyze and have the following specific reasons:
1, The metal dome for metal dome array is four-leg metal dome and triangle metal dome, they are with very high force and stroke;
2, The dome arrays of customers is not very adequate to stick, too little. Generally to maintain a minimum of 2mm distance to edge.

Generally speaking, our regular dome array can not have this problem. For this kind dome array, we can use the stronger adhesive sheet to solve this problem now. Please don’t worry about this issue.
