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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
