'''Sicotast S7''' is a discrete [[rubber dome|conductive dome]] switch from [[Printec-DS]], originally manufactured by DS Keyboard Technic.

==Description==
The switch comprises a dome, slider and shell. The switch assembly is designed to snap into holes in an underlying PCB, and the carbon-coated conductive pad on the rubber dome is designed to bridge conductive traces on a PCB. The specification describes it as being "Self cleaning about the silicon contact pellet" and "maintenance free".

The switch series is no longer listed on the Printec-DS website, but it is confirmed to be still in production with no plans to discontinue it.<ref name="conv-DS" />
