What is a Custom Capacitive Switch? A custom capacitive switch senses touch through capacitance changes. When you touch a capacitive switch, the electricity stored in your body interacts with conductive material in the switch. The switch senses the resulting change in capacitance and reacts according to its programming. Capacitive touch technologies are becoming increasingly popular, Read More …
Screen printed electrodes are revolutionizing the way that we collect data and measurements. Ag/AgCl (Silver Silver Chloride) reference electrodes are the industry standard reference electrode for many electrochemical measurements. This is because Ag/AgCl electrodes have a stable electrochemical potential in a variety of different measurement conditions. Almax manufactures custom Ag/AgCl screen printed electrodes by printing Read More …
“My situation was dire. My company was growing very rapidly when my only supplier of keypads suddenly shut down and went out of business. I quickly ran out of parts and could not ship the many orders on the backlog. I immediately contacted a major name in the keypad industry. They responded quickly, but quoted Read More …

The wearable medical device market has grown tremendously over the past 5 years and Almax – RP has been uniquely positioned to grow with this market. Our flat, flexible electronics manufacturing technologies are perfectly suited for custom wearable electronics. Our years of Read More …
Sealed membrane switches provide excellent resistance to moisture, chemicals, & dirt. We can design an IP67 waterproof gasket into your keypad to protect your electronics. Moisture ingress can cause your keypads to fail which can lead to total product failures. It is important to keep all electronics sealed off from outside contaminates. We know how Read More …
For optimum adhesion, an adhesive must thoroughly “wet out” the surface to be bonded. “Wetting out” means the adhesive flows and covers a surface to maximize the contact area and the attractive forces between the adhesive and bonding surface. A lower surface energy material, such as water, will spontaneously wet out a higher energy surface, Read More …
Perhaps you have keypads which are old but which are still used and needed for your equipment operation. Your plates and housings on your machinery might be older and you still want to use this legacy equipment. What can you do if you need new keypads and want them to be Read More …
100% Inspection All of our membrane keypads and circuits are individually tested for electrical functionality. Electrical testing is done both manually during the circuit build-up and then done to ALL parts when finished using an automated Mistral Keypad Test System. A testing report is generated for each lot of parts Read More …
One of the hottest new areas of growth in printed electronics is wearable electronics. New technologies are enabling highly conductive electronic circuits that are flexible, soft, and durable and can be machine washed, all for low cost. This includes markets for wearable health sensors, consumer electronics, and sports. The wearable electronics industry is growing fast Read More …
The colors which are used in a company’s logo or other interface design have a major impact on how the company (brand) is viewed as a whole. Color reference guides (like Pantone) and Adobe color tools make it fast and easy to select colors. But they don’t always translate well into the final production process. Read More …
A membrane switch gives a visually pleasing human-machine interface that is easy to use, low profile, and electronically stable. They are well known to stand up to harsh conditions. Flex circuitry is resilient and can be used in many different environments. Once you know what the end use will be for the flex circuit, the Read More …
We use metal, tactile domes in our flex circuits and membrane switches. Tactile domes are placed onto the Polyester/Polycarbonate substrate with pressure sensitive adhesive tape (Peel-N-Place Array) or captured in a membrane-type pocket design. Metal Touch switches are pressure activated, which prevents accidental actuation by environmental factors and are effective with gloves and styluses. Capacitive Read More …
