To Improve the Service Life of the Membrane Switch Panel, You Should Know These Points!

 How can the service life of the membrane switch panel be as long as that of the Queen of England?

 

Under normal circumstances, the service life of a membrane switch can reach 1 million times. But no matter how good a product is, improper use will shorten its lifespan. Today JRPanel will introduce several key points that affect the service life of membrane switches.

 

1. Reasonable Storage

 

Whether the storage method of the membrane switch is reasonable is particularly important. In the storage process of membrane switches, we need to pay attention to the following points:

 

1). When storing the membrane switch at room temperature, we should do dust-proof and moisture-proof treatment, and at the same time, we should ensure that there is no acid, alkali or other corrosive gases in the air.

 

2). After taking out a few membrane switches, they should be tied as they are, but they must not be tied too tightly.

 

3). Protect the cable of the membrane switch, place it upwards, and don't bend it.

 

4). For the membrane switch with display window, please prevent the material from bending when holding and placing it, and avoid leaving creases.

 

5). In order to prevent the key from failing under long-term heavy pressure, the membrane switch needs to be packed and placed vertically when stored in large quantities.

 

6). Before assembly, keep the bubble film and the transparent film covering the front and back of the membrane switch panel to prevent scratches.

 

Reasonable Storage


2. Assemble Correctly

 

  The wrong installation method will greatly shorten the service life of the membrane switch, or even damage it. JRPanel once wrote an article introducing Top 5 Biggest Membrane Switch Installation Mistakes, you can click Review to avoid wrong operations.

3. Proper Use

 

After the assembly is completed, the usage habits will also affect the life of the switch panel. The user should pay attention to two points when using it:

 

1). Press lightly, don't use excessive force.

 

2). Keep your hands clean during operation.

 

4. Choose the High-quality Manufacturer

 

For example, JRPanel's panels all use PC/PET substrates from major manufacturers such as Autotype; the raw materials for acrylic panels are genuine optical-grade Mitsubishi acrylic; the adhesive is 3M imported genuine adhesive.

 

Choose the High-quality Manufacturer


Regarding the details of the process, JRPanel strives for perfection. For example, in order to improve the feel and life of the keys, the JRPanel factory has improved the production process more than 10 times.

 

If you have any questions while using it, please consult JRPanel's business manager. Let's meet again next time.

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...
