The control panel is an integrated button system that perfectly combines panel decoration, display window and operation buttons.
Control panels can be divided into two main categories:
One is a flexible panel. The surface can be made into a glossy surface or a frosted surface. The buttons can be made into a flat light-touch type or a hemispherical convex state, and are combined with the PCB below to form a key switch.
The other surface is a thicker PC or PMMA (acrylic) panel with a smooth surface and a capacitive touch sensing control circuit board on the back. The switch function can be triggered by touching the button area on the surface, which is equivalent to the effect of a touch screen.

The picture above is a control panel on the surface of an electronic product, which is most common on controllers of smart home products. The surface of the product is smooth and flat, the buttons are clear and the touch-sensitive control is sensitive. The control panel is equipped with a capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board.


Touch-sensitive control hosts equipped in KTV, hotels, restaurants, shops and other business places. The surface is a scratch-resistant PMMA acrylic panel with white translucent fonts. When the device is turned off, the fonts appear dark white, and when the device is turned on by touching the button area, the fonts glow bright white.

The capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board is attached to the back of the control panel and matches the key positions on the front of the control panel to form a capacitive touch sensing control switch.
 

The capacitive touch control panel has the characteristics of easy and fast installation, reliable and stable quality, rich and beautiful panel colors, and prominent functional markings. It also has good wear resistance, waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, and harmful gas erosion prevention functions.

Capacitive touch control panels have rapidly replaced traditional mechanical switches and are widely used in household appliances, office equipment, instrumentation, machine tool equipment, medical equipment, electromechanical products, industrial controls, toys and other products.

Rechan Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of capacitive touch sensor control switch panels. Imported high-quality, highly transparent, scratch-resistant PC and PMMA acrylic are used as panel materials, and exquisite patterns and button positions are printed on the panel surface, as well as fully transparent or translucent LED display windows. A capacitive touch sensor control switch circuit board is installed on the back of the panel to form a touch sensor control switch module. The working principle of the touch-sensitive control switch: Just touch the key area on the surface of the switch with your finger to trigger the switch function. Because the surface of the touch switch is a screen-printed PC or PMMA acrylic panel, the surface is smooth and bright, making it more beautiful than traditional mechanical switches.

A combination kit of panel and circuit board. The surface is a friction-resistant PC or PMMA acrylic panel with beautiful printing. The back is equipped with a capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board.

The entire piece can be covered with the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board, or the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board can only be pasted on the switch button area of the product.


This is an example of a finished product of a capacitive touch sensor control switch. The effect is equivalent to that of a touch screen, but the cost is much lower than that of a touch screen. The capacitive touch sensing control switch panel is also compatible with the LCD display window. The key area has LED light display, and the touch key area triggers the switch function.


The capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board is made of high-transmittance white diffusion film imported from Japan. The button area is uniformly light-transmissive, and the low-resistance conductive silver wire makes the button touch sensor more sensitive. The wires are shielded and grounded to prevent interference.


The capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board film made of transparent PET printing can clearly see the low-resistance conductive silver wire. Polymer transparent conductive oil is printed in the silver coil, and the finger approaches the sensing area to trigger the switch function.


There is 3M double-sided tape on the back of the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board. During assembly, you can tear off the protective paper on the double-sided tape and attach the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board directly to the electronic product.

With the development of science and technology, in order to pursue the fashionable and beautiful appearance of new household appliances and consumer electronic products, the control panels of the products adopt an integrated design. The button symbols and patterns of the switch control part are injection molded into the panel through IMD technology.

Both the front and back sides of the panel are smooth and flat, and there is no need to make grooves or holes to assemble traditional mechanical switches. The areas without characters and patterns on the panel are all opaque, and the characters and patterns are made fully transparent or semi-transparent. When the device is turned off, the buttons' characters and patterns cannot be seen from the top of the panel because the bottom of the panel is dark. When the device is turned on, the LED light below the panel lights up, and the characters and patterns on the panel are displayed.

This kind of key switch will trigger the relevant button function as long as the finger touches the button area. In order to realize this function, an ultra-thin capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board needs to be attached to the back of the panel.

The material of capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board is generally PET or diffusion film, printed with low-resistance conductive silver wire and polymer transparent conductive oil, and then printed with 3M glue or directly made with 3M double-sided tape. The capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit board can be directly attached to the back of the panel, with simple operation and comprehensive functions.

Low-resistance conductive silver wires can be clearly seen on the circuit board, and polymer conductive oil is printed inside the silver coils. When your finger approaches the sensing area of the button, the switch function of the button is triggered.


The capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board made of transparent PET printing has 3M double-sided tape on the back, which facilitates the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board to be directly assembled behind the control panel of the device.


The capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board is made of high-transmittance white diffusion film imported from Japan. The button area of the circuit board can evenly transmit light, and the low-resistance conductive silver wire makes the button touch sensor more sensitive, and shielding is added between the wires to prevent interference.


Each button on the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board has an exclusive conductive silver wire, which transmits the signal to the receiving IC on the motherboard PCB to realize the touch switch function.
 

Because the capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board is made of light and thin materials, it does not take up space and does not require direct contact with the outside world when used. It can be dustproof and waterproof. Capacitive touch sensor control switch flexible circuit board has clear buttons, sensitive response, much lower price than touch screen, and has the same functions and convenience as touch screen. It has replaced traditional mechanical switches in large numbers.

Capacitive touch sensing control switch flexible circuit boards have been widely used in the field of switch control of various types of equipment such as intelligent electronic measuring instruments, medical instruments, computer controls, CNC machine tools, electronic scales, postal and telecommunications, household appliances, and electronic game consoles.
