Through a secondary injection molding or overmolding process, a rigid PC plastic skeleton is tightly bonded to a soft silicone button layer: the internal high-rigidity PC plastic skeleton ensures the structural strength and precise travel of the buttons.
the external high-quality silicone layer provides a soft touch, resilience, and excellent sealing, dustproof, and waterproof performance.
Suitable for high-frequency operation parts such as the shutter button, mode switch button, and power button in infrared sensor telescopes, this design solves the button reliability problem of infrared sensor telescopes in humid, temperature-varying, and vibration-prone environments.
1.The silicone material is made from imported high-tear-resistance, weather-resistant vapor phase adhesive, with added high-efficiency UV-resistant additives and antioxidants. It has passed QUV aging tests to ensure the buttons will not yellow or discolor after years of outdoor use, guaranteeing accurate button presses and a lifespan of over 20 million keystrokes.
2.The button surface can be flexibly customized with various marking processes such as silkscreen printing, laser engraving (backlit and translucent), and dot printing.
3.Featuring an ergonomic design, all buttons have raised markings on their surface, allowing for easy identification even in complete darkness. The power button is silkscreened in a bright red for quick identification during daily use. The raised portion of the transparent PC plastic serves as the indicator light at the bottom of the display, offering high light transmittance and providing timely information on power-on status and device power consumption.
Waterproof Outdoor Silicone Overmolded Buttons for Infrared Telescopes are mainly used in consumer electronics, automotive industry, medical devices, baby products, robotics, and other fields.
Silicone-coated waterproof buttons are widely used, such as: waterproof headphone control buttons, steering wheel multi-function buttons, center console touch feedback buttons, smart watch side buttons, function buttons, sports bracelet contact buttons, etc. Independent mold design and processing ensures the structural accuracy of the buttons and smooth demoulding, laying the foundation for product consistency. There are silicone molding processes such as liquid silicone injection molding, liquid silicone injection, silicone oil filling, and silicone parts spraying.
