Reliability and low cost... wait a minute don't i work for you?
i've got that quote you asked for. you know 15 .lbs of sh*t in a ziploc
sandwich bag. we can do that for free and it has a half life of 33 million
years. let me know if this will do. if not perhaps we can get more creative
with the payment schedule. ;)

sorry i cannot help for real. but i can't say these things to my customers
and i'm sure all of us have felt like telling them that on numerous
occasions.

oh well, time to put my gloves back on and try to squeeze all of it in that
little bag!!!

good luck!

 Subject: [PEDA] Keypad land pattern design



 I need to design a landing pattern for a rubber key pad
 switch.  My customer
 expects high volumes (it's a consumer product). The
 conductive element of the
 switch is carbon impregnated in a donut shape (.360in OD, .260in ID).

 In the past, I've simply followed the recommendations of the
 manufacturer;
 however, this manufacturer is located in Taiwan and it's
 difficult to get the
 information I need because any questions must be routed
 through my customer.
 That opens the door to prolonged responses and miscommunication.

 As a result, I'm exploring the idea of creating my own
 landing pattern
 design. I'm a bit nervous about it.

 I'd appreciate any design recommendations or possible sources
 of information.
  In addition to the landing pattern I need to specify the
 finish of the land
 pattern (gold plated, carbon screen, ??).  I need reliability
 and low cost.


 Thanks,

A half-life of 33 million years.  That's some powerful sh*t...
