How to Repair A Broken Membrane Switch or Panel?

 A few days ago, we received a sample from a customer. The sample is shown in the picture. We can find that the samples sent by customers are seriously damaged.

 

The display window has become incomplete. The button ink is also peeling off. In short, it is nearing the end of service life.

On this basis, our team will do repair work for our customers, or more accurately, copy work.

 

Then how does JRPanel repair/re-make this broken membrane switch?

 

First, we need a design drawing for production. The JRPanel team can complete the design of production drawings based on physical samples.

With the first version of the production drawings, we will confirm some detailed designs with customers to ensure product customization. The following is our final drawing before production.

The first step of production: modulate the required color. This step has been introduced in the previous video, so I won’t repeat it here. In short, we will control the color difference to the minimum.

 

After getting the inks we need, we will then enter the standardized production process of membrane switch panels. 

 

The final product is shown in the picture below.

Take out the samples received before and compare them, and the two are almost the same. We successfully completed a one-to-one copy. The shape and display window are the same as those of the sample, pattern complete and screen printing high-precising. This means that our "repair work" was done very perfect.


If you want to repair a broken membrane switch or panel, then send it to JRPanel.

Brief Introduction to Flat Spiral Coil Inductors

  Hi guys! Today JRPanel would like to share a few points about Flat Spiral Coil  Inductors  with you. Basically, a flat coil inductor is an inductor wound with flat copper wire.  The picture below is the side view, we can see that each circle of copper wire is arranged very compact. Here are some of the application characteristics of flat coils : 1.  High current inductance 2.  Lowest DC resistance           3.  Can ensure smooth drop of current-resistant inductance 4.  Suitable for reflow SMT process 5.  Lead-free, RoHS compliant This pciture shows a flat coil product.  It is generally used in power supplies, personal computers and other handheld  electronic devices . Advantages of  F lat  C oil  I nductors are : 1.  Scientific and reasonable space design. 2.  Tight and flat between turns ensures the effective cross-sectional area of the wire, which greatly reduces the copper loss ...

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches JRPanel         Erin KOU      JAN 14, 2020 The most economical and reliable design is the non-tactile membrane switch . Non- tactile membrane switch is flat and has no tactile feedback.  However, this design relies on other methods of identifying a feedback or that a connection is made.  These include indicator LEDs (visual), LCD screen (visual), or a sound(audible). In other words, an LED light can blink or a beeping sound can be heard when a button is pressed. This type of non-tactile membrane switch has the longest life cycle and reliability. The other type of membrane switch is the tactile membrane switch. Tactile membrane switch is very popular because it provides a direct feedback to users that a connection is made.  One way to design a tactile membrane switch is to dome emboss the keys on the graphic overlay. Although it is a little bit more cost that...

The Difference Between PVC, PC and PET in Membrane Switch Applications

  In membrane switch fileds, there are 3 main materials being used in production, PVC, PC and PET. To help you choose the proper material for your product, we would like to introduce you the difference between PVC, PC and PET in membrane switch applications.   1. PVC    PVC  is also called polyvinyl chloride membrane, the full name is Polyvinylchlorid membrane. The top layer of this structure is lacquer, the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. The price of PVC membrane is low, and it has excellent chemical resistance and insulation function. It is used in sign panels, but not suitable for membrane switches and light touch panels. The global usage of PVC membrane ranks second among various synthetic materials.   2. PC    PC is also called polycarbonate membrane, the thinnest is 0.01mm thick, amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency and low fogging. Chemical resistance: Dilute acid...
