Laser Etched Backlit Conductive Rubber Keypad 70 Shore A Carbon Pill Silicone Button for Industrial Control Panel

Laser Etched Backlit Conductive Rubber Keypad for Industrial Control Panels

This conductive rubber keypad combines a laser etched backlit silicone overlay with carbon pill contacts on a 70 Shore A silicone body. It is compression moulded to your 2D drawing, sealed to IP65, and built for control panels that need clear night-time legends and a reliable tactile response over millions of presses.

Application Scenarios

• Industrial HMI and instruments - test equipment, measurement devices and machine control units exposed to oil, dust and repeated cleaning.
• Outdoor and harsh environment panels - charging cabinets, gate controllers and utility meters that need sealed keypads with legible backlit legends.
• Communication and intercom devices - two-way radios, door intercoms and access control terminals.
• Remote controls and handheld terminals - POS handsets, barcode scanners and battery-powered consumer electronics.
• Automotive and e-mobility switch panels - cabin control modules, charging stations and dashboard accessories.
• Household appliances - air conditioners, water purifiers, induction cookers and smart home wall controllers.

Quick Specification

Quality Assurance

• 100% contact resistance and actuation force test on assembled keypads, with AQL 0.65 sampling on cosmetic appearance.
• Life cycle test to 1,000,000 presses, plus 500 hours of salt spray and 72 hours of damp heat at 85 C / 85% RH.
• RoHS, REACH and PAHs compliant compounds; FDA and LFGB food grade silicone available for food contact and kitchen appliances.
• First article inspection report, PPAP style documentation and 3D CMM dimensional report issued with every new tool.

Packaging Standard

• Each keypad wrapped in anti-static PE film, then sealed in a labelled OPP bag with batch and hardness marking.
• Inner carton holds 500 pcs with a divider tray so keytops do not deform in transit; outer export carton holds 2,000 pcs.
• Carton is 5-layer corrugated, moisture proof lined, strapped and palletised on request for LCL shipments.
• Neutral packing by default; custom printed colour box, hang tag and barcode labels supported for OEM programmes.

After-Sales Service

• Every inquiry answered within 8 working hours by a dedicated English speaking sales engineer.
• Free replacement or refund for any confirmed moulding, hardness or conductivity defect within 12 months of shipment.
• Free 2D and 3D drawing review, DFM feedback and reverse engineering from a physical sample within 3 days.
• Mould ownership stays with the customer; free mould storage and free maintenance for the first 3 years.
• Repeat order colour and hardness records kept for 5 years so the second batch matches the first exactly.

Factory Scale

• 12,000 sqm production base with 46 compression moulding presses from 50T to 300T and 4 LSR injection lines.
• Monthly capacity above 1,000,000 pcs of rubber keypads, with 180 skilled operators on two shifts.
• In-house tool shop with CNC, EDM and laser etching machines, so new moulds are cut on site instead of outsourced.
