Keys to successful integration

  • Use standard products for fast feasibility when the required signal, environment, and mechanics are still being defined.
  • Move to a custom stack-up when the final product needs tuned geometry, printed electronics, gas sensing, or embedded control.
  • Engage Interlink early when the sensor, electronics, enclosure, and firmware need to be designed as one system.

Frequently asked questions

How should teams choose between resistive and capacitive approaches?

Resistive technologies are typically selected when pressure sensitivity and harsh-environment tolerance are priorities. Capacitive technologies are commonly preferred for light-touch interaction and gesture behavior.

Can Interlink support custom sensor geometry and stack-ups?

Yes. Legacy program content highlights support for custom form factors, materials, and integrated HMI assemblies based on application constraints and volume targets.

What proof is usually expected before production release?

Most OEM teams request sample validation, integration guidance, and quality/manufacturing checkpoints before final launch decisions.

How do subsidiaries contribute to Interlink projects?

Subsidiaries add domain-specific capabilities in printed electronics, gas sensing, and engineering services while remaining aligned with Interlink program delivery.
