Working Principle : The snap dome is located at the conductive part on the PCB (most of which is above the gold finger on the PCB). When pressed, the central dimple of the dome is concave and contacts the circuit on the PCB , Thus, the circuit is formed, and the current passes through, and the whole product can work successfully . With the help of the conductivity of the metal metal, it plays a role of high-quality switch between the operator and the product. The stable click ratio & longer life-time are used to provide the operator with high-quality tactile feel
Oblong snap dome can be divided into below 2 types :
1. Without dimple : no series
2. with one, three, four and five dimple in the middle
Seldom have a hole in the center for the special conditions
Oblong Metal Dome :is almost used for any products which round metal dome used , which shape is cutting off 2sides from round snap dome , when design area is too small to place round shape , it can use oblong snap dome insteaded .
