The Necessity and Importance of Membrane Switches Prototype

 Today JRPanel would like to discuss with you about the necessity and importance of membrane switches prototype.

 

Prototypes are an important basis for the quality control of JRPanel membrane switches and a tool for communication with customers. Its functions are mainly reflected in the following two aspects.

 

First, the prototype can help customers check the various information contained in the document so that they can be modified in time, such as fonts, patterns, colors, etc. Color is the most difficult to control in prototype, because different panel materials and ink thinness will cause the color of the prototype to change.

 

Second, the prototype can be used as a contract between the customer and the membrane switch factory. The contract prototypes should accurately provide the same color as the final membrane switch, and the contract prototypes should be printed out shortly before mass production to avoid fading and distortion of the prototypes due to long storage time.

 

Prototype is a process connecting pre-press production and printing, allowing users to foresee the effect of the final membrane switch before mass production. It can provide standards for the entire membrane switch production process and provide a strong guarantee for the improvement of the quality of membrane switches.

 

Two ways of prototype for membrane switches:

 

1. Soft Prototype:

 

Soft prototype is realized on a color display, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient, fastest, and cheapest prototype method. The color display requires high accuracy and must be correctly calibrated. The obvious shortcomings of the soft prototype method are: the resolution is low, only 72dpi; the accuracy of the color depends on the performance and calibration of the display, and the metallic color cannot be accurately reflected.

 

2. Traditional Prototype:

 

It needs to output the film and make the silk print screen, and then complete the prototype on the screen printing machine.

 

The production process of traditional prototype prototype plate and mass production plate is the same. prototype and mass production use the same file data, and potential problems such as moiré, color, and font patterns can be found through prototype.

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 Difference Between PVC, PC and PET in Membrane Switch Applications

  In membrane switch fileds, there are 3 main materials being used in production, PVC, PC and PET. To help you choose the proper material for your product, we would like to introduce you the difference between PVC, PC and PET in membrane switch applications.   1. PVC    PVC  is also called polyvinyl chloride membrane, the full name is Polyvinylchlorid membrane. The top layer of this structure is lacquer, the middle is polyvinyl chloride, and the bottom layer is back-coated adhesive. The price of PVC membrane is low, and it has excellent chemical resistance and insulation function. It is used in sign panels, but not suitable for membrane switches and light touch panels. The global usage of PVC membrane ranks second among various synthetic materials.   2. PC    PC is also called polycarbonate membrane, the thinnest is 0.01mm thick, amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, high transparency and low fogging. Chemical resistance: Dilute acid...

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches

Tactile and Non-Tactile membrane switches JRPanel         Erin KOU      JAN 14, 2020 The most economical and reliable design is the non-tactile membrane switch . Non- tactile membrane switch is flat and has no tactile feedback.  However, this design relies on other methods of identifying a feedback or that a connection is made.  These include indicator LEDs (visual), LCD screen (visual), or a sound(audible). In other words, an LED light can blink or a beeping sound can be heard when a button is pressed. This type of non-tactile membrane switch has the longest life cycle and reliability. The other type of membrane switch is the tactile membrane switch. Tactile membrane switch is very popular because it provides a direct feedback to users that a connection is made.  One way to design a tactile membrane switch is to dome emboss the keys on the graphic overlay. Although it is a little bit more cost that...
