EMI/RFI and ESD shielding are essential for ensuring the reliable performance and longevity of electronic devices.

Silver epoxy surface mounting can be advantageous when bonding components on flexible displays, including surfaces within an HMI device.

Hot and cold embossing techniques enable textured or relief patterns on HMI surfaces, which enhance aesthetics, tactile feedback, and functionality.

ZIF/displacement terminals help connect flexible circuits, reduce wear and tear, and create space-saving HMI designs.

Compact and durable, double-sided thru-hole membrane keypads provide tactile feedback, customization options, and a cost-effective input solution for a variety of applications.

Innovative back-lit illumination plays a crucial role in enhancing the functionality, aesthetics, and user experience of Human-Machine Interface (HMI) design.
