Default Electrically conductive paint?


"Dallas" wrote in message
news
In between most key pads and the circuit board below is a vinyl (rubber)
membrane pad that has an electrically conductive area that closes two
contact points on the circuit board below . (Like on the inside of a TV
remote under the push buttons)

I have a device on-off switch that is failing because the black conductive
surface is wearing off. What I am looking for is that conductive paint so
I
can dab a bit back on to the contacting surface area to make the switch
work
again.

Does anyone know where to get something like that?

If the hardware store aluminum tape doesn't work for ya, you might try
self-adhesive aluminum sheets (sometimes sold as mirrored mylar) which can
be found at hobby shops that concentrate on model kits, scale trains or RC
aircraft. These sheets are available in very thin, highly-flexible
versions -- they can be burnished right over fine aircraft details like
rivets.
