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 ...

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...

How Does JRPanel Assemble Your Membrane Switches

Let's talk about the assembly of membrane switches. 1.  Installing LED and baking   For products that require LEDs, JRPanel engineers will attach the LEDs to the corresponding circuits. The printed circuits are subsequently put into the oven for baking.   2.  Cutting Cable   Engineers will cut out the cables in bulk with a cutting die or laser cutting.   3.  Installing Male Pin   Before installing the Male Pin, the end of the Cable must be cut flat. Next, the Cable is placed under the machine and by pressure, the Male Pin is positioned and fixed at the end of the Cable. This step is to ensure the conductivity of the product.   4.  Silver Paste Die-pressing   Silver paste die-pressing is a heat embossing process on the circuit layer with a die. At JRPanel, the dies used for this process are all aluminum plates. Therefore, compared to metal domes, the die-pressing process results in the long service life of the keys.   5.  ...
