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. Attaching Backing Adhesive

Attach the adhesive to the back of the circuit layer. JRPanel firmly selects genuine 3M backings adhesive. For more details about the adhesive, please refer to the previous videos and blogs.

6. Filling Up Gaps

In the video, we can see that there is a gap between the backing adhesive and the cable. To prevent the intrusion of dirt or oil, we need to fill up the gaps.

7. Attaching Spacer Adhesive

In this process, the engineer usually attaches the Spacer Adhesive to the lower circuit layer first. They will ensure that the silver paste dots are in the holes of the Spacer Adhesive. Next, the upper circuit layer is then covered on top. The upper and lower circuit layers cannot be misplaced, otherwise, it will lead to circuit failure.

8. Installing Metal Domes

Unlike the Die-pressing above, the Metal Dome installation may seem a little tricky. The installer needs to pick up the Metal Dome with tweezers and place it in the button position. The nickel-plated dome used by JRPanel guarantees a key service life of 1 million times.

9. Attaching Fixing Layer

After placing the Metal Domes, we need to attach a fixing layer at the top, which is used to fix all the parts assembled above.

10. Cutting Windows

Cutting out the desired windows using a cutting die or laser cutting is the final step of the assembly process of the circuit layer.

The above is the whole content of this video. In the next video, we will introduce the assembly process of other parts of membrane switches.

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
