What Is Triangle Snap Dome Switch?
The Custom Triangle Snap Dome Switch is a specialized metal dome variant engineered for applications requiring distinct tactile feedback and reliable multi-point electrical contact. This triangular snap dome utilizes a unique three-point support structure with a central contact point, creating a stable and definitive press sensation favored in many control interface designs.
As a purpose-built snap dome solution, the triangle configuration offers designers an alternative tactile signature—characterized by higher travel and heavier actuation force—that stands out from standard circular domes. While it serves as a robust metal dome option, it is typically selected for its specific feel rather than maximum lifespan, making it ideal for medium-duty applications where tactile clarity is paramount.

문의하기Why Choose Shanyo's Triangle Snap Dome Switch?
Definite Tactile Feedback
The triangle snap dome switch is engineered to deliver a pronounced, high-travel press with a heavier actuation force. This provides operators with unambiguous confirmation of an input, making this snap dome ideal for safety-critical or rarely used controls.
Stable Multi-Point Connection
Featuring four contact points (one central, three at the vertices), this triangle metal dome ensures a highly stable and conductive bridge upon actuation. This reliable electrical performance is a key benefit of choosing this custom metal dome for critical circuits.
Space-Optimized Angular Design
The triangular shape of this snap dome allows it to fit efficiently into corner spaces or unique PCB layouts where a standard round or square dome switch might not be optimal, offering designers greater flexibility.
Excellent Adaptability
Supports wide temperature operation (-20℃~70℃) with good moisture and salt spray resistance, compliant with RoHS environmental requirements.
Durable Construction for Target Applications
While the lifecycle of a triangle snap dome switch may be shorter than a standard circular dome, its 500,000+ cycle rating is more than sufficient for the medium-duty applications it is designed for, ensuring long-term reliability in its niche.
Superior Conductivity
Surface Nickel (Ni) plating primarily enhances corrosion resistance, preventing oxidation that would otherwise increase contact resistance over time. It maintains a stable contact resistance, typically in the range of 100 mΩ to 500 mΩ.

자주 묻는 질문
Q1: What is the main reason to choose a Triangle Snap Dome over a standard round one?
A: four legs Metal Dome switches feature maximum travel, higher actuation force, and superior support stability with crisp audible feedback. Circular domes have minimal travel and weaker sound, while triangular domes fall between but typically have shorter lifespan than four legs domes.
Q2: Why is the lifespan of the Triangle Metal Dome generally shorter?
A: four legs Metal Dome switches feature maximum travel, higher actuation force, and superior support stability with crisp audible feedback. Circular domes have minimal travel and weaker sound, while triangular domes fall between but typically have shorter lifespan than four legs domes.
Q3: Can the actuation force of a Custom Triangle Snap Dome be made lighter?
A: Yes, as part of our custom snap dome service, we can adjust the actuation force within a range. However, the inherent design of a triangle dome switch naturally lends itself to a heavier feel. Significantly reducing the force may affect the crispness of the tactile feedback that is characteristic of this triangle metal dome.
Q4: Do you offer the Triangle Dome Switch with different plating options?
A: Absolutely. Our custom triangle metal dome can be plated with nickel for corrosion resistance or gold for superior conductivity in low-voltage applications, depending on your project’s specific environmental and electrical requirements.
Q5: Is the Triangle Snap Dome suitable for high-frequency use like a keyboard?
A: It is not typically recommended for very high-frequency data entry (like a computer keyboard). For such applications, a long-life circular snap dome is preferable. The triangle snap dome switch is ideal for function buttons, power switches, or mode selectors where the tactile quality is valued over ultra-high cycle counts.
