Membrane Switch Panel Design Reference 1 -- Water Quality Monitoring System Operation Panel

 Hi everyone,starting today, JRPanel will publish a new article theme ---Membrane Switch Panel Design Reference to help you understand the design diversity of customized membrane switch panels.

 

In this topic, JRPanel will select some representative membrane switch panel products in design, and introduce product characteristics and design forms to everyone. I hope to bring some reference to friends who have related needs.

 

In the first episode, we will bring a Membrane Switch used on Water Quality Monitoring System Operation.

 

Let’s first take a look at the product overview.

 

 

From the text information on the surface of the product, we can know that this is a membrane switch used in the Water Quality Monitoring System.

 

The following are some of the design elements of this product.

 

1. Display Window

 

Under the display window is usually an LCD screen or a light-emitting diode. This is to show the information that the device needs to convey during use, such as the date or the operating status of the device, so that the user can better control the working conditions.

 

The size of the display window depends on the size of the display screen and can be customized.

2. 3 LED Windows

 

On the right side of the large window, there are 3 small circular windows, reserving space for the installation of LEDs. 

 

If your device is equipped with LEDs, when you design the membrane switch, you only need to punch holes on it, just like this one. If there is no LED on your device, but you just need the indicator light function, we recommend that you mark the position, quantity and color of the LED in the design document. We will embed the LED you need directly on the membrane switch for you.

 

3. Key Type -- Flat Embossed Keys

 

Key type

 

From the angle in above picture, the keys of this membrane switch are obviously embossed. 

 

JRPanel provides a variety of embossing types, which can reach customer's requirements with different types of keys. Circle Embossed, Flat- Embossed Key, Edge- Embossed, Key Shape Embossed, Flat- Key ( No embossed ). This membrane switch has adopted Flat- Embossed Key.

 

4. ESD Layer

 

ESD layer

 

In order to prevent the surface of the membrane switch from being charged with static electricity, JRPanel will add a layer of conductive adhesive or an independent shielding layer to the membrane switch and lead out the ground line. The main principle is to use electromagnetic shielding to shield space electromagnetic interference, thereby reducing and eliminating electromagnetic interference from space. After adding the electrostatic shielding layer, the overall structure of the membrane switch will become thicker, which is not suitable for products with higher thinness requirements.

 

 

JRPanel provides 3 types of ESD layer. You can choose the appropriate type according to actual needs. When placing an order, please note the required type.

 

The above are the key points of the membrane switch design that we brought to you today. We hope to help you better understand the design of membrane switches.

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 ...

The Main Use and Classification Methods of Transformer Bobbins

  Hi guys, this blog is still about   high frequency transformers .   JRPanel   would like to introduce you the main use of transformer bobbins and how we classify them.   In the pictures are the transformer bobbins.        Following are the main uses of that JRPanel has summarized for you:   1. The bobbins provide space for winding copper wires in transformers.   2. Wire channel in the bobbins provides path for transformer winding.   3. The bobbins help to fix the core in the transformers.   4. The metal pins in the bobbins are connected to the  PCB  after soldering, which play an important role in conducting electricity when the transformer is working.   5. The baffle at the bottom of the bobbins isolates the core from the tin stack to avoid poor volta ge resistance.       From this it can be seen that the importance of bobbins in transf...

7 Optimization Methods for Product Styling Design

JRPanel  has sorted out a series of styling design optimization strategies, hoping to help everyone think strategically in the innovative design stage. Product styling design optimization strateg ies: segmentation, cutting and stacking, bending and twisting, concave and convex treatment, spliting and connecting, folding, surface texture.  1. Segmentation A series of means to segment the form purposefully to achieve a certain functional effect. Segmentation includes the following three forms: functional segmentation, form segmentation, and compound segmentation. Function segmentation -the segmentation method to meet product production and practical functions; Formal segmentation -a segmentation method to satisfy the aesthetic system thinking of product modeling and color; Compound segmentation -a segmentation method that covers the above two effects. 2. Cutting and Stacking Cutting and stacking the shape to achieve a certain functional effect. 3. Bending and Twisting Bending an...
