Membrane Switches: Characteristics and Wide-Ranging Applications
Membrane switches, also known as touch keyboards, are widely used in many fields such as industry, machinery, electronics, medical treatment, instrumentation, etc. Since membrane switches are so widely used, what are the advantages of membrane switches? The following editor will briefly explain:
1. Small and light: The weight of a general membrane switch ranges from a few grams to dozens of grams, which is very easy to carry and disassemble.
2. Beautiful: Modern perfect silk screen technology, combined with perfect design, can produce any pattern you need.
3. Sealing: Using unique technology, the membrane switch can be waterproof, oil-proof, anti-pollution, anti-static interference and other functions.
4. Excellent conductivity: The circuit of the switch can be printed with carbon paste, silver paste, copper platinum, etc. The conductive layer can be folded at will; and the resistance can be controlled to any resistance you want. Moreover, using unique technology, the membrane switch can even withstand high-voltage electric shocks of more than 100,000 volts without damaging its function.
5. Low cost: Some membrane switches are even sold for only a few cents. Compared with an electronic component product with such multiple functions, its price advantage is not something that other similar products can achieve.
6. Long service life: Because the materials used in membrane switches have good insulation, heat resistance, flexural resistance and high resilience; and the patterns are printed on the reverse side to prevent the silk-screen patterns from being damaged; therefore, the service life of membrane switches can generally reach more than three years.
