Actuating the metal dome past its designed travel. For most metal domes, this is beyond the flat plane of the foot. Metal domes also can be designed to over-travel.
Our 4mm and 5mm circle metal domes, they are designed to be pushed past flat by .005”. This over-travel allows metal domes to reach a contact area below the plane where the outer rim of the dome rests.
The C-series domes will not invert when pushed past the flat plane. Applications requiring a low profile switch under a membrane overlay are a perfect fit with our C-series metal domes. It can be used anywhere a momentary switch with tactile feedback is required, while still achieving impressive actuation life cycles.
