Chemtronics CW2605 CircuitWorks Rubber Keypad Repair Kit
Chemtronics CW2605 CircuitWorks Rubber Keypad Repair Kit
The CircuitWorks CW2605 Rubber Keypad Repair Kit permanently restores electrical conductivity to worn, intermittent, or non-conductive carbon contacts on rubber keypads. Whether the buttons on a remote control, telephone keypad, industrial controller, or medical device are unresponsive or erratic, CW2605 rebuilds the conductive carbon layer on the rubber contact dome — returning the keypad to like-new performance without replacement. Each kit repairs over 50 rubber button contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the CW2605 repair kit work?
The kit uses a two-part conductive adhesive system. Mix the adhesive with the curing agent, apply a thin coat to the worn carbon contact surface on the rubber keypad button, and allow to cure. The result is a restored, wear-resistant conductive surface that re-establishes reliable electrical contact with the circuit board.
How many contacts can one CW2605 kit repair?
Each kit repairs over 50 rubber button contacts, making it cost-effective for repairing full keypads or multiple devices.
What types of keypads can CW2605 repair?
It is designed for rubber dome keypads with carbon conductive contacts — the most common type found in remote controls, telephone handsets, industrial HMIs, and similar devices. It is not intended for membrane switches with silver-ink traces or mechanical key switches.
Is the repaired contact flexible after curing?
Yes — the cured conductive layer is tough and flexible, allowing the rubber dome to continue flexing normally during keypress actuation without cracking or delaminating.
How long does CW2605 take to cure?
Refer to the Chemtronics TDS for specific cure time and temperature data. Allow full cure before reassembling and testing the keypad.
