Features Of Membrane Switches

Among various high-tech products, the membrane switch panel is an ideal choice , which is mainly composed of mask, mask adhesive, upper circuit, isolation layer, lower circuit and adhesive. Let's look at the features of membrane switches.


1. Good durability. The membrane switch panel can generally be used more than one million times, and that's why it has such a long life. The membrane material can be used more than one million times without deformation, which is because they are far from the bending limit due to the membrane's small creep range with only 0.1~0.3mm switch stroke, and the rational material. Moreover, the reason why the creep range is small is because the switch action is only bounced in the vertical direction of the elastic membrane although the realized elastic membrane undergoes millions of peristalsis.


2. As for the membrane switch panel, its contact of sealed switch is not corroded by harmful gases, and the membrane switch has an integrally sealed structure. It is not easy to oxidize and has the characteristics of waterproof and dustproof, which makes it more suitable for various harsh environments. Also, it has light weight and reliable structure.


3. Small size. With large setting density, the membrane switch can be arranged and combined into a membrane keyboard in design. Moreover, it has a sealed sheet structure composed of multiple films. The connecting wires and lead wires between all switches are completed by screen printing at one time, and their total thickness is 1~3mm, so it has smaller size, lighter mass, and greater reliability.


4. Membrane switch is rich in color, and its design of color pattern reflects individuality, which can be designed according to the user's design concept. The decoration reflects the comprehensive characteristics of the beauty of material, decoration craftsmanship.


5. It reduces the extra cost of electromechanical products, which requires welding traditional mechanical switches and even fixed bracket during installation. For membrane switch panel, its installation of is paste type, and it can be firmly pasted on the surface of the whole machine as long as the adhesive paper is removed. As long as the lead outlet is inserted into the socket of the rear circuit of the complete machine, the circuit can be connected instantly, which saves labor and materials, and reduces the cost of the complete machine.
