Silicone key switches are soft to the touch and are the most common choice on heated apparel and gloves. A few points make selection and assembly smoother.
Match the size to the position
On the chest or hem there is room for an oval model with a large, easy key. On the back of a glove or a knee pad, a small round model fits better.
Confirm the cable direction early
Which side the cable exits decides how the wiring runs inside the garment. Tell us the exit direction and cable length before sampling so the cable does not have to double back.
Use the stitching rim
Sew-on models have a dedicated rim for stitching. Keep the seam inside it and clear of the key and circuit board.
Settle the look at the same time
Silicone color and key icon can follow your brand. Approve a color sample before volume production to avoid mismatch.
For samples to compare feel and size, contact us and standard models ship the same day.
