#166218 - ESD
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Membrane is good for common application,here problem is ESD (electrostatic dissipative) characteristic - resistance must be < 10^9 ohms (specifically).
I asked our supplyer in China, he is still not answering - he is waiting answer from material supplyer...
Other possibility (as in ATEX related standard) is to minimize non-conductive external surface below 100 sq.sm . But if 10x10 cm is maybe enough for 30 keys keyboard, it will be additional problem with transparent cover for LCD - which is additional 80..90 sq.cm. Here alternatives are glass (shock resistant, bulletproof maybe) and ESD plastic. Yet another problem...
regards
