Detailed Explanation of JRPanel -- IP67 Waterproof Process

 In the last blog article, we pointed out that the difference between IP66 and IP67 is mainly reflected in the protection purpose and protection conditions.

 

Coincidentally, this weekend, the JRPanel factory produced the first batch of membrane switch products with upgraded IP67 waterproof technology. So today, we would like to use these products to explain the IP67 waterproof technology of JRPanel in detail.

 

IP67 Process Core: Peripheral Sealing Rings

 

After getting our IP67 product, we can see obvious collage traces from the inside and the outside, like a circle surrounding a large panel. This is the process core of IP67 products: the peripheral sealing ring structure.

 



How can such a structure enhance the waterproof ability of our products? Very simple, we can understand it like this:

 

Remove the sealing ring, and we can treat the inner layer as a normal membrane switch. Without upgrading to IP67, if this ordinary membrane switch is in direct contact with water, the internal circuit will be in direct contact with water. Products are likely to be scrapped quickly. After upgrading to IP67, we added a layer of sealing ring to the outer layer of this membrane switch as protection, which can block water outside the sealing ring when it comes into contact with water, effectively protecting the circuit from moisture intrusion.

 

The above is the basic waterproof principle of IP67 products. However, not all switches can be IP67 waterproof. Next, let's talk about the design requirements of IP67 for membrane switches.

 

According to the engineers of JRPanel, the minimum width of the sealing ring is 5mm, which requires:

 



1. The length and width of the membrane switch product should be greater than 5mm;

2. The cable outlet should be at least 5mm away from the edge of the membrane switch.

 

Therefore, if you want to use IP67 waterproof technology on your product, you need to think about whether your product meets the above 2 design requirements.

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
