PCB membrane switch panels are electronic control devices integrating both panel and switch functions, widely employed in instrumentation, medical equipment, and domestic appliances. Their core feature lies in combining printed circuit boards (PCBs) with membrane switches, enabling circuit activation or deactivation through light touch operation. These panels offer protective capabilities including waterproofing, dustproofing, and antimicrobial properties.
Ultra-thin and lightweight: Typically measuring 0.3–1.0mm in overall thickness, ideal for compact electronic devices.
Waterproof and dustproof: Employing a fully sealed structure with an IP67 protection rating, ensuring stable operation in harsh environments.
Long service life: Contact points withstand over 1 million actuations; metal springs extend this to 5 million cycles.
Flexible and Customisable: Possesses bendability to accommodate curved panel requirements. Supports multiple printing techniques including screen printing and UV printing, enabling customisation of shape, colour, and other specifications.
Low Power Consumption & High Responsiveness: Features low contact resistance (typically under 100Ω), delivering rapid response times with minimal power consumption.
Consumer Electronics: Serves as a vital user interface component in mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, providing tactile button operation and diverse interactive functions.
Home Appliances: Used for functional controls in televisions, air conditioners, washing machines, etc., such as volume adjustment and temperature regulation.
Medical Equipment: Serves as a critical human-machine interface, ensuring device safety and usability, commonly found in monitors and infusion pumps.
Industrial Automation: Enables diverse operational controls and parameter settings, such as on machine tool consoles and instrumentation panels.
Automotive Electronics: Applicable in centre console buttons and navigation systems.
