Here at SiTECH, we give you the highest quality military rubber keypads and components that meet and exceed precise design parameters and specifications for all your manufacturing requirements. Being in the military, you understand how important precision is when it comes to anything related to your business. These even includes keypads. As your military keypad manufacturer, we recognize this need and cater to it.
We have a lot of experience in working with military partners to ensure their custom silicone keypad needs are being met to the precise letter of the law.
Over the years, there certainly have been many advances in the military when it comes to technology and state-of-the-art weaponry. But keypad design is also right up there with the latest in technology, even though it doesn’t get all the accolades that more high profile aspects do.
But think about it:
Silicone keypads have to operate under extreme temperature and battlefield conditions. Their associated accessories and machines have to be crafted of the most durable materials, or failure could occur — failure that could easily result in injury and death.
So, what’s our solution for silicone rubber components for the military? We give you the highest quality military rubber keypads and components, meeting and exceeding precise design specifications and parameters for your top manufacturing requirements. We know innovations in military technology have to meet the requirements of the end user. Consequently, we make products with exceptional components through ITAR-certified manufacturers.
ITAR Compliance: Why It’s Important in the Military
If you’re in the military in any capacity, you know the importance of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). These guidelines must be followed by U.S. manufacturers, exporters, and brokers of military and defense-related technologies, per the United States Munitions List (USML) definitions. This lists services, articles and related technology that have been designated in the military, defense, military, or space-related industries as part of the U.S. federal government.
Components in USML systems are required to meet ITAR specifications before they can be approved for export. To that end, SiTECH is happy to be your trusted ITAR-certified rubber molding manufacturer for the military. This means we work hard to ensure all our custom silicone keypads are ITAR compliant.
Design Elements: Military Keypads
Lightweight components are imperative in military operations. Heavy computer equipment, surveillance tools and communications devices reduce mobility, transport and reaction time. With lightweight silicone molding, you get more compact air flight and freight transport, for one.
We use liquid silicone injection molding, an advanced process that ensures precision and durability every time. They are lighter than metal components, and have raised buttons so you can more readily distinguish keys in low-light conditions. Custom rubber keypads are a must if you plan to transport sensitive information into security access areas.
Shielding
Protecting information and intelligence within the military is of paramount importance. Military rubber keypads manufactured with silicone injection molding offer built-in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to ensure electronic communication and verbal transmissions are safer and easier.
We can also apply special coatings to shield communications devices and surveillance tools from electronic interface. It’s not uncommon for poisonous gases, smoke or dust to create make inhospitable environments in the military, requiring the use of robots in the interest of public safety search and rescue.
