Abstract

The invention provides a pitted-surface metal and rubber composite conductive particle, which is formed by adhering a metal surface layer to a rubber basic body or slitting after adhesion, wherein the metal surface layer is a pitted surface and has pits or bumps or both the pits and the bumps; the pits or the bumps are formed on an external surface of the metal surface layer or an internal surface or both the external surface and the internal surface; the depths of the pits are smaller than the thickness of the metal surface layer; the heights of the bumps are greater than or equal to one tenth of the thickness of the metal surface layer; the metal surface layer is made of metal or alloy; gold, silver, copper or nickel can be coated on the external surface of the metal surface layer; the rubber basic body is made of silicon rubber or polyurethane rubber; an adhesion layer can be arranged between the metal surface layer and the rubber basic body; the adhesion layer is made of a heat vulcanization adhesive, a prime coating agent or a material which is the same as that of the rubber basic body; and aids such as a coupling agent can be coated on the internal surface of the metal surface layer. The metal surface layer is high in strength, stable in conductivity, high in strength of the adhesion layer and high in elasticity of the rubber basic body; and the pitted-surface metal and rubber composite conductive particles can serve as conductive parts of various kinds of keys of a mobile phone, an automobile and the like, and the cost can be controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a conductive part for keys, in particular to a pitted metal and rubber composite conductive particle formed by compounding pitted metal foil or sheet and a rubber matrix. Background technique [0002] When all kinds of keys such as mobile phones, computers, calculators, and automobiles are installed and used, the back of the keys must be backed with elastic parts, so that the keys can have a better tactile feeling. Usually the elastic part is made of rubber, and the elastic part needs to be in contact with the integrated circuit so that the relevant circuit is turned on when the button is pressed. Since the conductivity of the rubber is not good, it is necessary to use conductive particles to increase the conductivity of the button and the contact of the circuit switch. [0003] The specification of patent application number 98117795.6 discloses a "conductive elastomer for joining to an elastic substrate". The conductive elas...
