How to measure a Metal Dome?

     The colloquial term "Metal Dome" is a domestic term used to refer to a type of metal dome. This name arises because the metal domes are stamped using a mold to create a concave surface. The stamped metal domes can deform when pressed, then rebound, and are mounted onto a PCB board to function as switches by conducting signals.

Internationally, they are referred to as "Metal Domes" or simply "Domes." The stamping process can adjust the travel height and actuation force of the metal domes. Customers can choose different specifications based on their needs, including varying the force, travel, tactile feedback, and diameter of the metal domes. Customers can fully define their desired shape, force, height, diameter, tactile feel, and other parameters based on the product structure.

To measure the thickness of the material of the metal dome:

 The diameter of the metal dome is measured using a profile projector, which allows for clear observation of the size of the metal dome, as shown in the image.

     To facilitate customer use, most customers currently adopt a method where multiple metal dome switches are fixed in position using PET adhesive, forming a Metal Dome Array. This approach improves production efficiency and ensures better consistency in tactile feedback.
