Flat Panel Series Overview
Product Description
Advanced Input Systems' Flat Panel keyboards are designed to meet demanding requirements. This series is particularly popular and reliable in environments where instrumentation needs to be highly visible, cleanable, and impervious to surrounding elements.
Flat Panel keyboards utilize flat panel, tactile or non-tactile touch with multiple switch technology options: dome switch or membrane switch. The tactile dome product supplies a crisp snap-action breakover tactile feel for optimal operator accuracy. The non-tactile membrane adapts the simplest of switches with silver ink screened on polyester. Flat Panel products are used in applications that require an easy-to-clean keyboard, and the ability to operate in a severe and exacting environment. |

How Concerned Are You About Component
Parts Causing Premature Device Failures?
Advanced Input Systems recognizes that the component quality-to-price
/ price-to-performance boundary is different for OEMs dealing with
products expected to last a few years, than for OEMs relying on devices
that impact medical life. We can help you sort the options and preferred
/ prohibited component categories.
