                                Move light longer distances around PCB obstacles and provide ESD protection for sensitive components. Choose an optical fiber diameter based on the flexibility and luminosity requirements and adapters with many mounting and LED options. Customization available.
 
                                      
                                  
                                A printed electronic is any type of electronic system that’s applied or printed onto one or more substrates. Circuits, for instance, are often classified as printed electronics. A circuit is nothing more than a conductive pathway. Nearly all electronics have at least one circuit. Depending on how a circuit is made, it may be classified as a printed electronic.
 
                                      
                                  
                                Capacitive switches have become a popular alternative to mechanical switches. Touching them will open or close a circuit. While mechanical switches are designed to control a circuit as well, they aren’t the same as capacitive switches. Capacitive switches are touch based, so they work in a different way than their mechanical counterparts.
 
                                      
                                  
                                Capacitive switches have become a popular alternative to mechanical switches. They are characterized by the use of sensors to measure a voltage. The voltage is constant by default. When you touch a button, though, your finger will absorb some of the voltage. The capacitive switch will then respond by opening or closing the circuit. Below are five things to consider when choosing a capacitive switch.
 
                                      
                                  
                                A light guide is a backlighting component that’s designed to propagate and distribute light across the keypad’s top layer to the areas where it’s needed. Most light guides consist of a thin layer of material. Whether a keypad uses light-emitting diode (LED) or electroluminescent (EL) backlighting, it can use a light guide as well. Once applied, the light guide will
 
                                      
                                  
                                Light guides are filament-based components that are designed to distribute light. They don’t actually produce light. Rather, light guides distribute light so that all areas of a device’s top layer receive an equal amount of light.
 
                                      
                                  
                                Have you heard of light-emitting diode (LED) light guides? They are commonly used as backlighting solutions for keypads, human machine interfaces (HMIs), switches and other devices. While LEDs alone can be used as backlighting solutions, though, the addition of light guides maximizes their utility.

                                When researching the different types of switches, you may come across piezo. Not all switches rely on moving parts. In addition to mechanical switches, there are piezo switches. Piezo switches are essentially touch switches that feature a piezoelectric panel.
 
                                      
                                  
                                Switches are found in nearly all electronic devices. While some of them are mechanical, though, others are touch-based. Two of the most common types of touch-based switches include piezo and capacitive. They don’t feature moving parts like their mechanical counterparts. Like all touch-based switches, piezo and capacitive switches will open or close a circuit in response to physical contact with a finger or object.
