About OP010 Siemens Membrane Keypad
The OP010 Siemens Membrane Keypad is designed to be used with Siemens operator panels, such as the OP7, OP17, and MP277, and is commonly used in a range of industrial applications. This consists of a thin, flexible membrane that is printed with symbols or letters and is mounted on a rigid backing board. When a key is pressed, the OP010 Siemens Membrane Keypad flexes, making contact with a conductive pad on the backing board, which sends a signal to the operator panel.
Long-Lasting and Durable DesignEngineered to withstand over one million operational cycles, the OP010 Siemens Membrane Keypad guarantees exceptional longevity even in intensive industrial use. The strong 3M adhesive and high-quality materials, including silver ink printed circuits and tactile keys, ensure consistent performance and robust durability, making it well-suited for challenging environments.
Robust Environmental ProtectionDesigned for reliability in tough industrial settings, the keypad's front face meets IP65 standards, offering strong resistance to dust, water, and UV exposure. Its operation is stable in temperature ranges from -20C to +70C and humidity up to 95% RH (non-condensing), providing peace of mind during high-demand processes.
Simple Installation and Flexible ApplicationWith its self-adhesive backing and a tailored flexible tail connector, mounting the OP010 membrane keypad on compatible Siemens operator panels is quick and efficient. The flexible printed circuit, light weight, and compact 0.5 mm thickness make it adaptable for various HMI projects, supporting up to 20 keys for versatile control.
