Produkte & Applications
What products does JASPER manufacture?
JASPER manufactures custom membrane switches, membrane keypads, graphic overlays, control panel overlays, and related control interface assemblies for OEM equipment.
What is the difference between a membrane switch and a graphic overlay?
A membrane switch includes a functional switch circuit. A graphic overlay is the printed front surface and may be used alone or as part of a membrane switch assembly.
Can JASPER make waterproof membrane switches?
Yes. Waterproof structures can be reviewed using suitable overlay materials, adhesives, gaskets, tail exits, venting, enclosure fit, and sealing design.
Can JASPER make backlit or LED membrane switches?
Yes. Options may include LED indicators, backlighting, dead-front icons, light guide structures, and printing control for light blocking.
Design & Engineering
Can JASPER help with membrane switch design?
Yes. JASPER can review key layout, tactile feel, circuit, tail direction, connector, overlay material, adhesive, window, embossing, and application environment.
What files are useful for design review?
Useful files include drawings, artwork, enclosure drawings, sample photos, electrical requirements, connector details, color requirements, annual volume, and testing requirements.
Can JASPER work from a physical sample?
Yes. A sample can help confirm dimensions, structure, tactile feel, connector type, material, and production feasibility.
Can JASPER review artwork before tooling?
Yes. Artwork review can help check icon clarity, color requirements, window position, embossing areas, dead-front graphics, and print registration before tooling starts.
Materials & Quality
What overlay materials are commonly used?
Polyester and polycarbonate are common. The right choice depends on durability, embossing, cleaning, outdoor exposure, surface finish, window clarity, and budget.
Does JASPER support RoHS and REACH?
RoHS and REACH compliant material options can be reviewed for suitable projects.
Does JASPER have cleanroom production space?
Yes. JASPER has 2,500 sq m of cleanroom production space within a 5,000 sq m factory.
How does JASPER reduce quality risk before production?
JASPER reviews drawings, material choices, circuit requirements, adhesive surfaces, tail routing, sealing needs, and inspection expectations before tooling and sampling.
Samples, Tooling & Orders
Can I request prototypes before mass production?
Yes. Prototype or sample requirements should be reviewed with drawings, artwork, and the intended test plan.
How long does a membrane switch prototype usually take?
Prototype timing depends on structure, tooling, material availability, printing complexity, connector requirements, and sample quantity. JASPER reviews the expected lead time after checking project files.
What affects membrane switch cost?
Cost depends on size, material, printing colors, circuit type, connector, LEDs, backlighting, embossing, adhesive, gasket, tooling, inspection, quantity, and packaging.
What information should I include in an RFQ?
Include drawings, artwork, quantity, application, environment, material preferences, connector requirements, compliance needs, and delivery expectations.
Still have a project-specific question?
Send your drawing, sample photo, or application requirement. JASPER will review the practical next step for your project.
