Customization Process
Applications
Bedside and entryway ambience, kids’ rooms, gift and home retail, and licensed IP shapes. The squeezable feel that silicone encapsulation provides is itself a selling point — but note that powered products carry electrical-safety requirements per market, so the certified electronic module is supplied by the client or tested separately; we are responsible for the silicone structure and cosmetic parts.
Process & Certifications
Two common builds: a split silicone shell that snaps together around the electronics, which is easier to rework, or full overmolding, which feels best but demands more from tool and process. Light-transmitting walls run 1.5–3 mm: thinner gives hot spots, thicker loses brightness; areas that should not glow get masterbatch or a second silicone layer so light only passes through the intended outline. The board is located by mold pins, and injection pressure must match compound flow or components shift.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conductivity methods do silicone keypads use?+
Three common types: 1) Carbon pill (low cost, 1M cycles); 2) Metal dome (POM, crisp tactile feel); 3) Conductive ink printing (for membrane circuits). Choose based on feel, lifespan, and budget.
Are silk-printed characters on silicone keypads durable?+
Using silicone ink silk-screen + secondary vulcanization, characters resist 500+ alcohol wipes, sweat, and abrasion — 5+ years outdoors without fading.
What is your MOQ and sampling lead time?+
From 50 pcs, small-batch trials supported. Free 1-3 samples (customer pays shipping); sampling 5-7 working days; mass production 15-25 days.
