Membrane Switches

At Eastprint, an East West Business, we have been producing custom keyboard assemblies with membrane switch technology since 1980. With our engineering expertise, experience, and a wide breadth of capabilities, we offer the highest quality membrane switches and electronic front panel assemblies available on the market. From initial design to full production, we provide the most reliable highest value products in the industry. We own and operate two 30,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility that allows us to perform all operations in-house and to the most stringent industrial standards.

We begin by providing any design assistance the customer may require. This includes engineering services and CAD/3D modeling to ensure that our customer’s design will meet all of their requirements and specifications. We produce membrane switch assemblies in a virtually unlimited number of configurations. Some of the design and assembly options we have available include dead front graphics, display integration, metal backers, interchangeable graphics, and optically laminated windows. We also offer plastic bezels, tinted windows, touch screen system integration, graphic embossing, and in-mold decorating.

Most six-layer membrane switch assemblies consist of the same basic elements. These include a graphic overlay, graphic adhesive, circuit spacer, top circuit, bottom circuit, and rear adhesive layers. In addition to these elements, we also offer a number of user-specific features such as metal dome, PushGate™, tactile graphic, and polydome tactile feel switches. We also offer silicone rubber keypads and overlays, discreet LED and custom light guide backlighting, conductive seals, and many others. We work with many superior quality materials, including silver conductive, translucent conductive, and thick film polymer inks, as well as FR-4 ridged printed PCBs, polyester, and polyimide.

Screen printing and assembly services are also available. We employ automated, and semi-automated sheet fed and roll-to-roll printing, as well as automated pick and place, hand insertion, hand soldering, roll, and hand lamination assembly methods. Our low cost labor facility in Mexico supports OEMs in a broad array of industries while ensuring the most competitive prices on the market.

Quality is very important to us, and we maintain a comprehensive quality assurance program. We strive to continually improve customer satisfaction through quality planning, process improvement, and innovative products. To this end, we hold ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications, and are fully ITAR compliant.
