Features: Special consideration of prolonged high temperatures while selecting entire component list of membrane keypads for electric rice cookers. Also, the graphic overlay of keypad should always match the entire device.
Features: Membrane Keypads for gym equipment, specifically treadmills are wider and larger than normal keypads. These keypads are designed at Linepro keeping in mind continuous, harsh and sometimes abusive activities. Treadmills also face danger of drinking water and sweat spill.

Mechanical
Electrical
Graphical/Aesthetical
Here you are requested to give dimensions of Keyboard, Display & LED locations, stud size & its location, switch size & its location, connector location and tail length and its location etc.
Here you are advised to provide a detailed circuit diagram (logic Diagram) of electronic components with component specifications including pin numbers of connector. However we recommend to provide us the freedom to select connector pin numbers so that we can minimize the cross connections and reduce the complexity and improve the reliability of the Keyboard. In case of flexible membrane Keyboard, cost of the product will reduce as well.
It is important to select proper overlay material depending upon the application. The most common and economical material is Polycarbonate. We use special grade polyester which is very suitable for embossing and gives good chemical and scratch resistance. In order to make a impressive and attractive overlay, it is important to choose proper color, shade, font size, font shape etc.
Application of the product (consumer, industrial, medical) etc.
