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.

Identify Different Types of Transformer Cores, Based on Materials

  Hi guys, this is JRPanel ! In previous  blog s, we have introduced several points about High Frequency Transformer, like  bobbins  and  Flat Spiral Coil . In this blog, JRPanel would like to introduce the commonly used magnetic cores in transformers ,  based on materials.   Generally speaking, the material of the core determines the environment in which the transformer is used. A transformer that uses a core of a different material will have its performance affected, may even be non-functional.   By material, magnetic cores are generally divided into the  several  categories . JRPanel will introduce them one by one to help you understand more fully.   1. Manganese Zinc Ferrite Core Mn-Zn core is a soft magnetic core with high initial permeability (2000~15000). The higher the initial permeability, the lower the surface resistance, so it is generally used in circuits below 1 MHz. Mn-Zn core has a high saturation ...

The Relationship Between Plastic Nameplates and Membrane Switches

Before the 1970s, most nameplates   were made of metal materials. Today, plastic  nameplates   have been widely used in household appliances, instruments, meters, office equipment and other fields, and have become an indispensable part of electromechanical products. It not only plays the role of trademark identification, specification model, function indication, etc., but also becomes an element that reflects the appearance of the product.   With the continuous use of new materials and new processes, the surface of plastic  nameplates   is constantly improving, and it has become the crystallization of three major technologies: comprehensive surface treatment, processing and molding, and screen printing.   Plastic  nameplates   can be divided into 2 types according to their material processing methods and objects of use:   1. The injection-type plastic  nameplate   is made of ABS, PC and other engineering injection molding, and ...

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 ...
