The circuit layer is an important part of all membrane switches. Membrane switches, of course, are circuit-controlling devices. Unlike mechanical switches, though, they feature multiple layers that are compressed and joined together using adhesive. While there are...

If you’re thinking about a capacitive switch, you may want to choose backlighting for it. Backlighting isn’t limited to mechanical switches. Both mechanical and touch switches support backlighting. Capacitive switches, of course, fall under the latter...

Not all switches contain moving parts. There are touch switches available that will open or close their respective circuit upon contact. Piezo switches, for instance, are touch switches. They feature a piezoelectric element without relying on moving parts. While all...

When researching switches, you may come across the term “actuation force.” Some switches have a higher actuation force than others. Whether a switch is used alone or in conjunction with another device, such as a human machine interface (HMI), you should...
