Customer-specific flat input keyboards, OEM foils, individually tailored

We offer custom-solution Flat-Input-Keyboards at low prices and best quality.

Features
Completely waterproof and dustproof on the front and therefore easy to clean. Compact design with the option of integrating electronic components. Excellent tactile feedback through the use of spring steel snap disks. Long service life and switching reliability when using gold contacts, both on snap disks and on the circuit board contacts
Production process
Flat input keyboards consist of plastic foils that are produced using the screen printing process. Basically, they consist of the following layers: Between the above-mentioned foils there are so-called spacers which, for example, allow the metal snap disks to be positioned (for key clicks) or serve as electrical insulation or height compensation. On request, we manufacture with front panels (circuit board as the lower contact layer) or e.g. aluminum front panels with stud bolts for assembly. Complex flat input keyboards can easily have 10 layers and more.
Electrical interconnection
Socket strips with a pitch of 2.54mm (0.1 ") are common for the electrical connection to the keyboard controller. We offer you as a standard solution a) Crimpflex (uncoded) or b) Duflex (coded). Other connection systems are also possible on request.
Design
In order to be able to make you an offer for a customer-specific flat input keyboard, we need a drawing of the keyboard and the answers to the following questions:
Dimensions (length x width): Corner radii: Number of colors: Number of Keys: O with a click O without a click Electrical interconnection O as an x-y matrix O common control line O mixed Electrical interconnection O as an x-y matrix O common control line O mixed Numbers of pins: Connector: O Crimpflex (uncoded) O Duflex (coded) O other system, if applicable: Embossing of the keys: O no embossing O Embossed key edge O flat key embossing O cushion embossing Relief (similar to Braille) on design foil: O without relief O with relief O partially with relief EMC (electromagnetic compatibility): Integration of an aluminum protective film O not required O required Integration of windows: -Number: -Location -Dimensions: -Filter colors: Integration of LEDs: O no LEDs to integrate O filters for LEDs only Oh yes, LED integration -Number: -Colours: Mounting on the front panel: Oh no, only self-adhesive film on the back Oh yes, front panel made of material and thickness: Slide-in pockets for free labeling or interchangeable labeling: O no hand pockets O yes, -Number: -Location: Number of keyboards required: O prototypes O one-time requirement of .... pieces O annual requirement of approx. ...... pieces
When using a connection lug, mark the position of the outlet, the direction and the protrusion in relation to the visible front on your drawing. A simple hand sketch is sufficient for an initial estimate of the creation effort.
Notes
Component Integration:	Of course, if you wish, we can also offer you the GeBE keyboard controller that is optimal for your task.
Design:	We support you regarding design wishes.
Data format:	If you already have drawings in digital form, we can use them. We work with AutoCAD, Vellum and Corel-Draw. So you can send us .dwg, .dxf, .vlm, .igs, .crd files.
You can rely on GeBE's many years of experience in the production of flat input keyboards. Together we will find a solution for your application.
