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.

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.  ...
