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.

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. ...
