MEMBRANE
Membrane (Conductive Ink Circuits)
With paste ink and polyester film, Membrane Switches are widely used for operating panels in calculators, microwave ovens, keyboards, OA and educational equipment. Recently, attractive designs and soft touch operations have become important design features in addition to compact design and lightweight. Public demands make products increasingly complicated and sophisticated. We are eager to provide a rich assortment of products to meet such diversified market demands. The Fujikura keyboard switch offers freedom of colouring and layout that conforms to the user’s application, its wafer type slimness is available up to ~2mm minimum thick. These features ensure optimum design to meet any needs for OA equipment, electronic appliances, and other industrial instruments. The dust-proof, moisture-proof keyboard switch will help to further enhance the eye appeal of your products. Features

General Construction Membrane switch circuits are fashioned from conductive ink tracks, contacts and connections printed onto polyester base material. The range of construction can vary from single layer, single-sided circuit through to double-sided circuit multi-layer assembly including colour printed graphics top sheet. |

Standard Characteristics With the progress of electronic equipment and the continual demand for cost down solutions, Fujikura has made rapid advances in its membrane switch technology. Membrane switch (MBSW) is a printed ink circuit, produced by printing an electric conductive paste of silver and/or carbon onto a plastic film, e.g. polyethylene telephthalete (PET). The market at present demands that much electronic equipment is light-weight with a compact design, therefore MBSW is not only attractive but also indispensable for this requirement. Fujikura is recognised as a world leader in MBSW technology with a considerable share of the world-wide market and whose products can be found in computers, microwave ovens, mobile phones and almost every other type of electronic equipment. Over the years we have developed production techniques for embossed tactile switch domes and to populate circuits with surface-mounted components e.g. resistor, capacitor, LED, packaged IC, etc. Furthermore, Fujikura are developing a sensor film by applying our knowledge of conductive paste materials to achieve a driver/passenger recognition system for automobile seats linked directly to airbag management. Our preliminary design has already been put to practical use and has been very well received. |
