Using thinner metal sheets allows higher deformation at a given force than using thicker sheets, as illustrated in Figure 3. For example, with a 20-mm diameter button of aluminum and a force of 1 N, the 0.25-mm thick sheet has a peak deflection of 27 µm, whereas a 1-mm thick sheet only has a deflection of 0.42 µm.
