What is DE41-00376B membrane switch?

DE41-00376B membrane switch is a membrane switch with a specific model. When the panel is not pressed, the upper and lower contacts of the DE41-00376B membrane switch are disconnected, and the isolation layer isolates the upper and lower circuits; when the panel is pressed, the contacts of the upper circuit deform downward and contact and conduct with the plate of the lower circuit, thereby conducting the circuit. The conducted circuit sends a signal to the external connection instrument (substrate) to achieve the corresponding function; after the finger is released, the contacts of the upper circuit rebound, the circuit is disconnected, and the circuit triggers a signal.

What material is the DE41-00376B membrane switch made of?

The DE41-00376B membrane switch is mainly made of the following materials:

• Panel material: generally use colorless and light-transmitting sheets such as PET and PC with a thickness of less than 0.25mm. PET material has excellent mechanical properties, hardness and the greatest toughness among thermoplastics, low water absorption, wear resistance, high dimensional stability, and its tensile strength is comparable to that of aluminum film, much higher than PC and PVC, and the price is relatively low.

• Circuit layer material: The upper and lower circuit layers usually use polyester film (PET) with good performance as the carrier of the switch circuit pattern, and silver paste, carbon paste or gold paste is screen-printed on it with a special process to make it conductive. Its thickness is generally within 0.05-0.175mm, and the most common is 0.125mm PET.

• Isolation layer material: PET double-sided tape is mostly used, and its thickness varies from 0.05-0.2mm. When selecting this layer of material, factors such as the overall thickness, insulation, circuit key package feel and sealing of the product should be fully considered.

• Surface adhesive and back adhesive materials: Surface adhesive is generally required to be between 0.02-0.15mm thick, with high adhesion and anti-aging properties. Special membrane switch double-sided adhesive is often used; back adhesive is closely related to the material to which the membrane switch is attached. Common double-sided adhesive, 3M adhesive, waterproof adhesive, etc. are commonly used.

What are the characteristics of membrane switch for de41-00376b?

DE41-00367B membrane switch has the following characteristics:

In large-scale production, its cost advantage is more obvious, which helps to reduce the overall cost of the product.

• Easy to assemble: The appearance is thin sheet, with a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back. You only need to peel off the anti-sticking paper to firmly stick it on the surface of the whole machine. The internal circuit is led out by flexible flat cable, which is easy and reliable to connect, greatly reducing the installation process and avoiding the hidden dangers caused by welding quality.

Why choose DE41-00376B membrane switch?

The reasons for choosing DE41-00376B membrane switch are mainly as follows:

• High stability: DE41-00376B membrane switch uses high-quality polyester film (PET) as the substrate of the circuit layer, which has good insulation, heat resistance and folding resistance, which can ensure the stability of the electrical performance of the switch under different environmental conditions and effectively reduce the risk of failure caused by environmental factors.

• Long service life: The selected PET and other materials have high mechanical strength and wear resistance, and are not easy to damage. The DE41-00376B membrane switch, which has been reasonably designed and manufactured, can withstand more than one million press operations under normal use.

• Good resilience: The high resilience of the material allows the switch to quickly return to its original state after being pressed, and the contact and separation between the contacts are accurate and reliable. Contact fatigue or deformation is not likely to occur after long-term use, further extending the service life of the switch

• Appearance design advantages: The panel layer can be made of colorless and translucent sheets such as PET and PC, and various exquisite patterns, texts and symbols can be printed through silk-screen printing technology. The colors are rich and clear, and can be customized according to different product design requirements.

• Light and portable: The overall structure is thin and light, and the weight will not add too much volume and weight burden to the product. It is particularly suitable for portable electronic devices, small instruments, etc. that have strict requirements on space and weight, and is easy to carry and use.

• Good sealing: The multi-layer film structure and the special surface glue and back glue make the DE41-00376B membrane switch have good sealing, which can effectively prevent dust, water vapor, oil and harmful gases from entering the interior.

• Lower cost: Compared with some traditional mechanical switches or other complex electronic switches, the manufacturing process of DE41-00376B membrane switch is relatively simple, and the material cost is also relatively controllable. Its cost advantage is more obvious in mass production.

How to design the appearance of DE41-00376B membrane switch?
