4-Zone Mouse Sensor
Integration Guide
Constant pressure on the sensor contacts can be applied in a couple different ways. One method
is to use the module’s case or housing to apply pressure to the joint through a piece of rubber.
The rubber is used to take up tolerances in the design and can be made as an extension of the
actuator (See Figure 4). This design can provide a long-lasting high-quality connection and is
appropriate for most designs.
