Electrical contacts.

For the right connection.

Our switch contacts are very powerful and maintain their mechanical and electrical properties over many switch cycles. They also affect haptics and acoustics depending on the material properties, size, and resistance.

Electrical contacts in keypad systems and switch contacts

Reliable electrical contacts are crucial in keypad systems. The contacts must be high performance, and they must retain their mechanical and electrical properties across many switch cycles.

Depending on the material characteristics and size, they may have different effects on the switch system. Materials such as gold, nickel, or carbon are frequently used to ensure optimum performance and corrosion-resistance. 

Even the size of the contacts plays a crucial role. Smaller contacts enable greater packing density and thus more compact designs, whereas larger contacts mostly offer greater electrical stability. 

Depending on the combination of these factors, electrical contacts can meet different specific requirements and achieve optimum performance for each application. Therefore, when developing switches and controls, it is crucial to choose the right materials and designs with haptics and acoustics guidelines in mind in order to ensure long-lasting durability and reliable functionality.
