in combination with keypads

current design, keypad only	new design, with SMT Key	benefits
		Avoid oversize keypads                      lower costs for keypads same tactile feel                                         Pre-load possible

current design	new design	benefits
		Save costs and time Customized prototypes in 7 DAYS    No tooling cost Low design cost Use existing PCB layouts with prototypes (glue or hand solder) Optimized feel and position Automated in serial production - SMT - Machine placeable - Pb free reflow solder - Delivered on Tape and Reel Lower assembly cost

How to use customized prototypes - Assembling to prototypes

The new SMT Silicone Key allows you to either glue or hand solder your individual fast samples for your existing prototypes. For basic experiments the terminals can be glued on the PCB with any common metal/plastic glue. Reasonable results were achieved with UHU Power from Henkel.  Use sandpaper on the PCB before gluing to increase adhesion. For prototypes the SMT Silicone Key can be hand soldered at maximum 350°C during 3 sec.
