Memtron Input Components

Memtron Input Components produces custom-designed input components including membrane switches, passive and active PC board-backed switches, elastomeric keypads, and touch screen integrated panels. All of these can be developed to withstand harsh weather, altitude, chemicals and rough handling. A Memtron device can be found in virtually any application imaginable—from hospital surgical rooms and restaurants to manufacturing plant floors and oil rigs.

Operating as a business unit of parent company Esterline Corporation (NYSE: ESL), Memtron leverages 30 years of interface expertise and technology development to implement fast-turn prototypes and designs for low-cost manufacturing. Worldwide procurement abilities—strengthened through Esterline—contribute to our value proposition.
