General Integration Tips and Installation Best Practices

DISPLAX Skin Fit

DISPLAX Skin Fit is designed for thin, integrated touch solutions where space constraints and mechanical precision are critical. Correct integration is essential to ensure stable touch performance and long-term reliability.


Glass and Lamination Considerations

  • Use glass thickness within Skin Fit specifications

  • Ensure clean, dust-free lamination

  • Avoid uneven pressure or trapped air


Mechanical Integration Tips

  • Mount the sensor on a flat, rigid surface

  • Avoid bending or twisting the sensor during installation

  • Do not force the sensor into tight mechanical tolerances

  • Ensure the enclosure does not apply pressure to the active area


Electrical and EMI Considerations

  • Maintain distance between touch components and:

    • Power supplies

    • LED drivers

    • High-speed data cables

  • Ground all metallic frames properly

  • Use shielded USB cables and avoid unnecessary extensions


Tail (Flex Cable) Handling – Critical Area

The flex tail of the Skin Fit sensor requires special care due to its thin profile.

Best Practices for the Tail

  • Never crease or sharply bend the tail

  • Respect the minimum bending radius

  • Avoid routing the tail near sharp edges or screws

  • Do not trap the tail between mechanical parts

  • Secure the tail to prevent movement or vibration

⚠️ Tail damage is irreversible and may cause partial or total loss of touch functionality.


Controller Placement

  • Place the controller in a cool, ventilated location

  • Avoid proximity to high-EMI components

  • Ensure strain relief on the tail-to-controller connection


Before Powering On

  • Confirm tail routing is clean and stress-free

  • Verify all grounding points

  • Check that no metal parts contact sensor traces

  • Ensure connectors are fully seated


Final Integration Tips

  • Fine-tune the sensor using DISPLAX Connect

  • Close DISPLAX Connect after configuration

  • Test touch response across the full surface

  • Re-test after final enclosure assembly
