             Dome Array
  Main Products: Polydomes (1)
 
 
 Description:
Membrane package consisting of two single layer membranes, a spacer and an embossed polydome membrane (upper membrane). Instead of the lower membrane also a PCB can be used.
 Structure:
 
 
 
A print into the polydome can replace the upper single layer membrane
(Cost reduction).
