Omron to sell solderless ultra-low profile tactile switch that reduces production lead-time for operating parts of portable devices

Recent years have seen a demand for ultra-low profile switches possessing a crisp clicking action (clicking feel), not only for mobile phones, digital cameras and other mobile equipment, but also for operating parts used in industrial applications (controllers, industrial use PDA’s, etc.) and business applications (measuring instruments, communications equipment, etc) where the miniaturization/lower profile of portable devices continues to progress.

Omron responded to these needs in December 2000 by producing/marketing a solderless sheet switch B3DA ultra-low profile dome array that received high praise in the industry. Due to the longer lead time required for a design to correspond to the key layout, the dome array switch was suitable mainly for comparatively large orders.

Now, to cater to the small-to-medium sized orders, Omron developed a single-key type ultra-low profile dome key that attaches to each key as needed by the customer in making a low-profile operating switch with ease, hence reducing production lead time. Not limited to small/medium sized orders of equipment, it is also well suited for mobile devices scattered with numerous operating switches, mobile devices in which it is required for just one operating part (eg. reset switch), and for purposes of equipment testing.
