The membrane switch is an integrated key system that perfectly combines panel decoration, function markings and operation keys. Membrane switches have notable features such as thin and light size, simple circuit interface connection, convenient and quick installation, reliable and stable quality, long service life of buttons, rich and beautiful panel colors, comfortable hand feel, and prominent function markings. And the membrane switch has good wear resistance, waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, harmful gas erosion and other functions.

Membrane switches have rapidly replaced traditional mechanical switches. Membrane switches are widely used in household appliances, office equipment, instruments, machine tools, medical equipment, electromechanical products, industrial controls, toys and other complete products. Membrane switches can be mainly divided into: flat touch keyboard, concave and convex three-dimensional keyboard, and high-performance waterproof type. There are also EL or LED backlight indication types (used for key function indication or key font pattern lighting guidance), and luminous storage types (absorbing light sources during the day and storing the light sources on the keyboard, and the keys will glow at night).

Rechan Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of membrane switches and touch switches. We have comprehensive membrane switch knowledge, high-quality production conditions, and can design membrane switches for you free of charge. The membrane panel cooperates with the capacitive touch sensing circuit to form a touch sensing membrane switch. The touch switch is sensitive and can trigger the switch function as long as your finger touches the switch surface. Because the surface of the touch switch is a screen-printed PC or PMMA panel, the surface is smooth and bright, making it more beautiful than ordinary key switches. kevin@m.rechan.com

Membrane switches are different from traditional mechanical switches. They do not have high requirements on the layout of the casing. They do not need to drill many holes in the casing and are simple and convenient to install. The surface of the membrane switch is a printed panel, which can be printed with PC or PET. The material has a glossy surface and a matte surface. It is commonly made of raw materials imported from Autotex in the UK. The membrane switch has a beautiful appearance, with an embedded metal shrapnel installed in the middle, and a single or multi-layer silver paste circuit at the bottom. The membrane switch keys have low resistance, good pressing feel, and long service life. The high-performance 3M double-sided tape underneath can be directly attached to the product casing. Membrane switches are scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, waterproof, fireproof, dustproof, and resistant to harmful gas erosion. It is widely used in household appliances, office equipment, instruments, machine tools, medical equipment, electromechanical products, industrial controls, toys and other complete products.

Membrane switches on medical equipment for blind people. It has comprehensive functions and simple surface color design, but there is a raised edge around the buttons. The design is exquisite and the touch is clear, so that people with low vision can easily identify the product button functions.
 

There are various types of membrane switches on medical equipment, including flat non-tactile type, film convex tactile type, convex frame non-tactile type, convex frame tactile type, panel concave tactile type, metal spring type, etc. These membrane switches have moisture-proof, long service life, waterproof, dust-proof, oil-proof, and no harmful gases erosion. They are light in weight, small in size, long in service life, easy to assemble and connect, and the panel can be washed without damage to the characters. The colors are rich and beautiful.

In addition, the membrane switch has good sealing performance, rigorous structure, beautiful appearance, stable and reliable performance, easy assembly and connection, washable panel without damage to the characters, etc.

Specifically, the flat non-tactile membrane switch has a long service life but no tactile feedback; the film convex tactile type has good tactile feedback but a short service life; the convex frame non-tactile type has a beautiful appearance and strong stereoscopic feeling but no tactile feedback; the convex frame tactile type has a beautiful appearance and strong stereoscopic feeling and good tactile feedback; the panel concave tactile type has no two-stage phenomenon and less structural layers, which is economical. If the panel is broken, the electrical performance will not exist; the metal spring type has good elasticity and conductivity.

The application of membrane switches in medical equipment is very extensive. For example, PVC film switches for medical equipment include PC film panel switches, control panel surface film panel switches, intelligent PC button panel touch buttons and stickers.

In summary, there are various types of membrane switches on medical equipment with various characteristics that are widely used in various fields.

Membrane switches can be made into flexible boards or used with hard board PCBs. The surface is generally made of materials such as PC or PET and printed with multi-color patterns to distinguish the different positions of each button.

The buttons of the membrane switch can be made into a convex shape or a flat shape. The surface of the membrane switch can also be made to have a high-gloss effect, or matte oil can be printed to give it a matte frosted effect.

Underneath the panel of the membrane switch is double-sided tape, bonding the panel and the circuit board below. Circuit boards can be made into single-layer, double-layer, or multi-layer structures. The circuit board is printed with conductive silver paste, UV insulating oil and anti-oxidation carbon paste. 3M glue can be printed on the back of the circuit board, or appropriate high-performance double-sided tape can be selected according to actual assembly requirements.

If the membrane switch needs to be backlit, or equipped with embedded LEDs as indicator lights for the buttons, the mezzanine of the membrane switch should be high to facilitate the storage of LEDs. The LED window can be made into a translucent effect. The LED emits light when working. When not working, the color of the window and the surface are the same, and the position of the LED cannot be seen, making the surface of the membrane switch more concise and beautiful.

Membrane switches with coarse sand surfaces are mainly used on large equipment. The edges of the buttons are made into arc-shaped protrusions to enhance the three-dimensional effect. The LED position is translucent, and the color is consistent with the background color of the panel. When the LED is not working, the LED cannot be seen. When the LED is working, the LED emits light to serve as an indicator.

Membrane switch is a new type of switch that integrates surface appearance and key switch function. Membrane switch has gradually replaced traditional mechanical switches.Compared with traditional mechanical switches, membrane switches have a more rigorous structure, beautiful appearance, strong plasticity, good sealing performance, waterproof and dustproof, and long service life.Membrane switches can therefore be widely used in electronic communication products, electronic measuring instruments, medical equipment, automobile industry, household appliances, smart toys and other fields.
