Membrane Switches

Custom Membrane Switch Assemblies for Reliable Interfaces

PICA Manufacturing Solutions designs and manufactures custom membrane switch assemblies engineered for performance, durability, and ease of integration. Built with advanced materials and precision manufacturing, our membrane switches deliver reliable user interfaces for medical devices, industrial equipment, consumer electronics, and more.

Whether you need tactile feedback, LED backlighting, custom graphic overlays, or sealed designs for harsh environments, PICA provides scalable solutions tailored to your product requirements.

Why Choose Membrane Switches?

  • Slim & Compact – Ultra-thin profiles save space and allow seamless integration into tight enclosures.

  • Durable & Reliable – Sealed construction resists moisture, dust, and wear for long-term performance.

  • Customizable Interfaces – Options for tactile domes, embossing, and graphic overlays create user-friendly designs.

  • Easy to Clean – Smooth, flat surfaces simplify sanitation, ideal for medical and industrial equipment.

  • Cost-Effective – Efficient materials and scalable production deliver quality interfaces at competitive costs.

Membrane Switch Capabilities – Highlights

PICA offers advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities for membrane switches, including:

  • Tactile or non-tactile switch options (metal domes, polydomes, flat panels)

  • LED and fiber optic backlighting solutions

  • Graphic overlays with custom colors, logos, and icons

  • EMI/RFI shielding for sensitive electronic applications

  • Sealed designs with moisture, dust, and chemical resistance (IP-rated options)

  • Integration with flexible circuits or hybrid assemblies for compact system designs

Benefits
