How to Assemble Metal Dome Array on PCB: A Simple Guide

Assembling a metal dome array on a printed circuit board (PCB) is crucial for ensuring a reliable tactile interface in your electronic devices. Follow these steps for an efficient and accurate assembly process:

1. Prepare the Components

Gather your metal dome arrays, PCB, and any necessary tools, such as tweezers or alignment fixtures. Ensure all components are clean and free from contaminants.

2. Peel Off the Liner

Start by carefully peeling off the protective liner from the back of the metal dome array. This exposes the adhesive layer that will bond the array to the PCB.

5. Check Alignment

Inspect the alignment of the dome array to ensure that all domes are correctly positioned. Make any necessary adjustments before proceeding.

6. Test the Assembly

Once the metal dome array is securely attached, perform a functional test to ensure that each dome responds correctly and provides the desired tactile feedback.

7. Finalize the Assembly

Complete any additional steps required for your specific device, such as attaching a top panel or other components.
