Membrane-switches with illuminated controls

EAO, the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces, offers custom-built membrane-switch solutions with illuminated controls and a superior tactile response.
EAO, the Expert Partner for Human Machine Interfaces, offers custom-built membrane-switch solutions with illuminated controls and a superior tactile response. EAO can design and build complete operator interfaces using their technically-advanced, PCB-mounted Series 70 switches rather than conventional metal dome membrane switches. Interfaces built with Series 70 are more reassuring to use than those with domes because the operator can clearly feel and hear the 'click'.

They offer a long service life of up to five million operations.

Series 70 switches are offered with bright, full-face LED illumination in a range of popular colours - including white.

The new white LEDs can be used behind coloured insertion strips which allow customers to change the configuration of the panels according to the end user application.

These bright LEDs provide a clear indication of status even from a distance.

EAO's Series 70 membrane solutions have proven themselves throughout the world, in applications ranging from instrumentation and machine tools to high-speed trains.

EAO's skilled engineering department provides a full, solutions design service based on careful consideration of the operating environment and end user - critical factors for membrane interfaces.

The service includes electronic circuit and industrial design, front panel integration, custom marking and graphic design, colour matching, and rigorous in-house testing to international standards.

A comprehensive customer solutions service from EAO, the expert in human machine interfaces, ensures that complex HMI solutions are integrated seamlessly into customer projects, on schedule and on budget.
