Generally speaking, the types of silicone keys can be roughly divided into silk screen silicone keys, dropping silicone keys, spraying laser engraving silicone keys, single-point silicone keys, etc. They are also made of rubber products by processing, vulcanization and molding. Therefore, silicone keys have heat resistance, cold resistance, ozone resistance, atmospheric aging resistance and good electrical insulation properties. Of course, these functions come from the manufacturing process of silicone keys themselves.

Silicone material itself is not conductive, so we through other ways to achieve the purpose of conductivity, one is to install conductive black particles, before molding, put the conductive black particles into the mold, with Teflon first set the silicone keys, and then mold, silicone products conductive black particles will be integrated with the silicone keys, the other is to brush the conductive adhesive in the conductive part of the silicone key that has been processed and formed, so that it has the ability to conduct electricity. Of course, the two methods will have the effect and the difference in cost.
The use of conductive silicone keys should start from the use of keys. Keys are devices for people to control machinery and equipment. They are used to input commands and transmit information. Then the main function of conductive silicone keys is to achieve conductive keys through conductive glue. When the conductive silicone keys are pressed, the conductive rubber under the keys can reach electrical communication with the contacts below. When the conductive silicone keys are released, the conductive rubber under the key will bounce up and not communicate with the contact below. The process of pressing and releasing will achieve the purpose of transmitting information.
The participation of silicone keys is indispensable in all kinds of remote control controllers we use in our daily life. More and more manufacturers need to open molds to customize silicone keys that conform to their own products. Today's customers not only need to customize the height and size of the keys, but also need to print and engrave characters for easy use. Therefore, many silicone manufacturers have added printing departments.
Silicone button custom characters commonly used there are three:.
1. When the mold is opened, the characters are designed on the silicone mold. After the silicone button is vulcanized and molded, it will have a character pattern, which does not need to be processed by printing. Its disadvantage is that it can only make simple characters and have a single color.
2, screen printing technology, silicone key button after forming through the screen printing equipment printing characters, the ink on the keys, to achieve the character printing effect, the character color is bright and easy to distinguish, screen printing technology because of the cheap color bright, so the most widely used.
3. Laser engraving technology. Laser engraving uses laser beams to irradiate the surface of keys to vaporize the surface materials to achieve light transmission effect. Laser engraving keys are mostly used in dim environments. Characters can be clearly displayed through the illumination of instrument lights. More are used on some instruments.
