==Gallery== ===Discrete=== The [[BTC 5151]] PCB has exposed pads, so the foam discs in theory will be insulated. This is a linear example with helical springs. <gallery widths=250 heights=167> File:BTC_5151_PCB_top.jpg | Circuit board top, with exposed pads File:BTC_5151_top_of_key_switch_with_spring.jpg | Top of key switch with spring File:BTC_5151_foam_and_foil_is_still_pristine!.jpg | Switch module viewed from below, showing the foam pads and foil discs File:BTC_5151_key_switch_with_spring_removed.jpg | Switch with spring removed File:BTC_5151_Keytronic_style_key_caps.jpg | Keycap mount, keycap aspect </gallery> The [[BTC 5060]] PCB does however have solder mask over the pads. The design of the slider modules is different to those in the BTC 5151. <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:BTC-5060-PCB-Detail.JPG | Sense pads on the PCB are covered with solder mask, insulating them File:BTC-5060-Foil-Pads-Detail.JPG β | Foil discs File:BTC-5060-Switch-Components.JPG | Switch components </gallery> ===Non-discrete=== The following pictures are from a [[BTC 5100]]. This example is tactile and uses buckling rubber sleeves. <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:BTC 5100 -- sliders and sleeves.jpg | Sliders with [[buckling rubber sleeve]]s File:BTC 5100 -- sliders with foil.jpg | Sliders with foil layers File:BTC 5100 -- slider detail.jpg | Slider detail File:BTC 5100 -- PCB (top).jpg | Top of PCB with capacitive pads </gallery>
