double-sided tape.

through the overlay for

bubbles.)
Finally, PCB
flex can be a problem. That is, the
PCB flexes instead
of the switch closing. This happens
if there is too much
distance from the
switch to the PCB
mounting holes.
Usually this has to
be more than an
inch or two. The
solution is to add a
mounting hole
closer to the
switch. However,
sometimes it is
possible to get a
switch that needs
less pressure to close.
plays? Yes, windows are easy to
make. Just remove the proper area
on the paper overlay before applying
the package sealing tape. This
leaves a window with sticky tape on
the inside face. Now, cut a piece of
package sealing tape a little larger
than the display opening. Carefully
attach that to the inside of the window — sticky side to sticky side. No
more stick! And the window will
be very clear. (Watch out for air
Conclusion
Attractive custom pre-produc-tion membrane switches can be fabricated quickly and cheaply using
simple tools and materials. They are
water resistant and can be quite thin.
Custom switch set-up costs and lead
times are eliminated — while giving
your project that "pro" feel. NV
