What is an FPC Membrane Switch?

An FPC Membrane Switch (Flexible Printed Circuit Membrane Switch) is a thin, lightweight, and flexible electronic interface widely used in keyboards, control panels, and consumer electronics. Unlike traditional membrane switches, FPC Membrane Switch combines flexible circuits with advanced conductive materials, providing superior durability and compact design.

The switch uses a flexible substrate, often polyimide or PET, embedded with copper or silver conductive traces. TianTai Electronics specializes in producing FPC Membrane Switch that supports high-density designs with low resistance and precise spacing, suitable for miniaturized and high-reliability electronic products.


How Does an FPC Membrane Switch Work?

An FPC Membrane Switch works by pressing a flexible membrane layer onto the conductive circuit layer, completing the electrical circuit. The pressure can be transmitted through metal domes or poly domes, depending on the design, producing tactile feedback or silent operation.

Key technical points include:

  • Track width/spacing precision up to 0.1mm
  • High conductivity and low resistance
  • Support for soldering multiple components
  • Durability under high temperature and repeated usage
