Product information

Membrane technology, also known as click technology, encompasses all technologies that provide mechanical feedback. This tactile feedback, often with a click sensation, allows for a durable and cost-effective solution – suitable for the industrial and heavy-duty market.

This technology is characterised by a long lifespan and its resistance to dust, water, chemicals and scratches.

ClickTouch dome

This patented ClickTouch-shoulder is recognised as a reference for ultimate quality. The ClickTouch Dome offers quality six times higher than any other membrane technology. Available in various shapes and sizes (up to 35 mm in diameter), its combination of silver and carbon ensures it can be easily illuminated while remaining unbreakable – the button continues to function flawlessly even if it is tampered with (e.g. with a screwdriver or scalpel).

Metal dome

Metal dome switches offer a classic solution with unique advantages. Experience the rapid click response and excellent performance at high temperatures. Our combination of a ClickTouch Dome with a metal disc achieves double-click functionality with activation forces of up to 1500 g and resistance to high temperatures. This solution offers a long lifespan of up to 1 million activations and a reliable user experience.

ClickTouch offers two distinct touch technologies: capacitive and resistive touches. If you’re in the market for a durable and functional solution that works under extreme conditions (e.g. with thick glass, water, gloves or strict EMC & ESD requirements), or looking to upgrade your product, we’ve got the cutting-edge technology and expertise you need.

Capacitive touch

Capacitive Touch Sensing (CTS) or Projected Capacitive Touch (PCAP) utilises the conductive properties of the human body - unlike resistive touch screens, which rely on pressure. This allows users to easily interact with the screen using various touches: self and mutual touch, rotation, zoom, etc.

Resistive touch

Resistive touches employ two layers that make physical contact with each other when touched. This creates an electrical signal that registers the touch, regardless of the object used (e.g. finger, stylus, palm). The screen is versatile but requires physical pressure to operate, unlike capacitive touch sensing (CTS)
