Understanding the Relationship Between Thickness and Diameter of Snap Domes

Is there a specific relationship between the thickness and diameter of snap domes? Generally, there is a notable correlation. Understanding this relationship is crucial for selecting the right snap dome for your application.

Snap domes, also known as metal domes, are typically made from stainless steel 301 or 304. They come in various shapes, including circle, cross, triangle, and oblong, with diameters ranging from 3mm to 20mm. Here’s a closer look at the relationship between their diameter and material thickness:

1. Diameter: 3mm-5mm
– Material Thickness: 0.04mm-0.06mm

2. Diameter: 6mm-8mm
– Material Thickness: 0.06mm-0.08mm

3. Diameter: 9mm-12mm
– Material Thickness: 0.09mm-0.1mm

4. Diameter: 16mm-20mm
– Material Thickness: 0.12mm

From this, it’s evident that the larger the snap dome’s diameter, the thicker the material used. The choice of material thickness directly impacts the quality and force of the product. Thicker materials generally provide greater durability and a more pronounced tactile response, which can be essential for specific applications.
