What is the difference between a membrane switch and a traditional switch?

Technology is becoming more and more developed, and you can feel the changes brought about by the development of technology from around you. Today, the editor will talk about the relevant content of the membrane switch and the difference between it and the traditional switch. In fact, membrane switches are very common in everyone's life, but many people don't know that it is called a membrane switch.


1. What is a membrane switch

Membrane switch is an operating system that integrates button functions, indicating elements, and instrument panels. It consists of four parts: panel, upper circuit, isolation layer and lower circuit. It is a light touch normally open switch. Under normal circumstances, the upper and lower contacts of the membrane switch are in an open state. When the membrane switch is pressed, the contact of the upper circuit deforms downward, and is in contact with the plate of the lower circuit. After the finger is released, the contact of the upper circuit bounces back, the circuit is disconnected, and the circuit triggers a signal.

Membrane switch has rigorous structure, beautiful appearance and good sealing performance. It has the characteristics of moisture resistance and long service life. Widely used in electronic communication, electronic measuring instruments, industrial control, medical equipment, automobile industry, smart toys, household appliances and other fields.

2. What is the difference between a membrane switch and a traditional switch?

1. Long life: The working life of membrane switch is dozens of times that of ordinary mechanical switch. The life of the membrane switch can reach more than 1 million times, while the life of the traditional switch ranges from 100,000 to 200,000 times;


2. Small size and light weight: the total thickness of the membrane switch is generally between 1.0~1.5mm, which is only equivalent to the thickness of an ordinary aluminum panel

3. Good sealing; because the membrane switch is a sealed structure of the whole machine, it has the ability to prevent fire, dust, explosion, and harmful gas erosion. It can adapt to work in extremely harsh environmental conditions, such as for electrostatic copiers, It can prevent the short circuit caused by charged toner intruding into the switch and make it malfunction; while the traditional membrane switch is easy to operate and fail in a humid environment;


4. Good decoration: the appearance of the membrane switch is a matte color with diffuse emission, and the surface is soft, which is beneficial to the protection of the vision and is more conducive to the monitoring of the instrument; while the traditional switch is relatively simple

5. Economy: The production of the membrane switch is made at one time according to the finalized design, while the traditional switch needs to undergo continuous modification of drawings, several complicated processes and mold opening to complete.

The above is the relevant content about the introduction of the membrane switch and the difference between it and the traditional switch prepared by the editor for you. After reading it, do you feel suddenly enlightened? There are always many products that are constantly being updated in our lives, especially mobile phones. If you pay more attention, you can still feel the big difference.
