What Harm Will Low Quality Membrane Switches Bring to Your Products?

In the more than ten years of membrane switch design and manufacturing career, we have come into contact with all kinds of membrane switches or membrane panels, and have also participated in the repair work of many membrane switches. Therefore, we can easily identify the quality of a membrane switch. So what kind of membrane switch is considered a low-quality membrane switch? What harm will low-quality membrane switches bring? Today, JRPanel would like to take you to understand about it.

Generally speaking, there are two factors that affect the quality of a product: raw materials and manufacturing processes. The main raw materials involved in a membrane switch include: printing ink, plastic film, metal dome, adhesive and so on. The manufacturing process includes both conventional processes such as screen printing and laser cutting, as well as JRPanel's unique IP66 waterproof process.

It can be seen that the quality of a membrane switch is affected by many factors. You cannot assume that a membrane switch that uses high-quality raw materials is high-quality. So what kind of membrane switch is considered low quality? JRPanel summarizes the following characteristics of low-quality membrane switches for everyone:

1. The quality of the keys is poor, the lifespan is extremely short, and they cannot rebound after a period of use;

2. The printing quality of the built-in circuit is poor, so that the signal cannot be connected;

3. The characters of the printed pattern are not clear or even wrong;

4. The light transmittance of the instrument panel is poor, and the light cannot penetrate.

As long as one of the above conditions occurs in a membrane switch, we can identify it as a low-quality membrane switch. Then what harm will low-quality membrane switches bring?

For Users:

Low quality membrane switches may render the product unusable. The user may not be able to input operating instructions to the instrument or device through the membrane keypad. If the membrane switch is damaged, the entire device may fail, and even seriously threaten the user's personal safety.

For Manufacturers:

Low-quality membrane switches will affect the overall quality of the product, resulting in the loss of users and the collapse of brand reputation. Later rework and repair will increase the cost, disrupt the original production plan, and cause production impact.

How to eliminate the hidden dangers of low-quality membrane switches and improve the quality of membrane switch panels? In the next episode, JRPanel would like to share with you.

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 flux density and causes lower losses, making it one of the most desirable

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 then undergoes secondary surface decoration processing such

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 transformer is extraordinary. After understanding the main uses of transformer bobbins, JRPanel is to introduce its common classification methods. Fi
