The following are typical characteristics of a Rubber Keymats. Actual performance
depends upon many factors. IN2TEC routinely provides solutions to design challenges -
often working outside the bounds of these typical parameters. For design assistance on
specific applications, please consult your local sales support.
IN2TEC has taken pride in EXCEEDING CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS. having pioneered
many important innovations in premium quality keypad technologies by successfully MERGING
FORM AND FUNCTION into a single,satisfying component.
- "WORLD CLASS FEEL" That's how customers describes our remarkable, NEW LASER
LEGEND(LL TYPE) keypad. This breakthrough technology was driven by customer demand in
both the automotive and telecommunications industries for a Durable "SOFT TOUCH"
SWITCH THAT FEATURES SHARPLY DEFINED, CLEARLY ILLUMINATED keypad
legends. These unique keypads feature multiple layers of dark and translucent silicone rubbers
with laser-etched keytop legends that are extremely durable.
- PRECISE CONTRAST between the darker top layer of each keypad and the tanslucent
silicone layer below provides uncomparably CLEAR AND EVEN KEYTOP LEGEND
ILLUMINATION.
- SUPERIOR RESISTANCE to abrasion and premium quality appearance is passible because
the legends on LL TYPE keypads are recessed slightly below the keytop surface with
CONTROLLED LASER ETCHING. Keytop legend abrasion test data verifies that LL TYPE
legend durability far exceeds typical paint and laser legends and screen-printed keytop legends.

- Also available is the SHP-EC TYPE, which has a coated layer to improve the abrasion
resistance of the printed part as well as the touch feeling of the surface.
- FEATURES OF THE SHP TYPE
- Hardness and colors of the key top can be selected.
- Key illuminated from behind can be manufactured by using light-transmissive materials.
- Letters and marks to be printed on the key top can be selected.
- This Rubber-Contact substantially reduces the number of production and control
processes, including assembly and molding.
- A single key sheet accommodates different key profiles and click feelings.
- The conductive part can be manufactured by using a molded pill or by printing.
- The silicone-based ink is resistant against heat, low temperatures and other harsh
environment conditions.
