Membrane switch is an integral sealing structure composed of flat multi-layer films. The key switch, panel, mark, symbol display and liner are sealed together. The integration of light, mechanism, electricity, and integration rose in the 1980s. A new type of electronic components that can perform operating system tasks more reliably.

It has good waterproof, dust-proof, oil-proof, and harmful gas erosion characteristics, stable and reliable performance, light weight, small size, and long life.

Membrane switches and panels have been widely used in various industries and household appliances such as intelligent electronic measuring instruments, medical instrument computer control, CNC machine tools, electronic weighing instruments, post and telecommunications, photocopiers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, electric fans, washing machines, electronic game consoles, etc. product.

Normally, our customers will require button embossing for their membrane switch products. So the question is, what is the button embossing, and what are the benefits?

The key embossing is to use the machine to press up the key area on the panel layer. This method has strict temperature and pressure requirements based on the natural characteristics of the material.

JRPanel provides various types of embossed-key as following picture. 

Circle Embossed Button

Flat Embossed Button

Flat Button( No Embossed)

The default is circle embossed button. If you need other types, you can specify it in the remarks or drawings when placing an order.

After introducing the button embossing form provided by JRPanel, I believe you must have this question: What are the benefits of button embossing?

The benefits are as following:

1. The decorative effect of the appearance of the membrane switch is improved.

2. The tactile feel is more obvious.

3. Precisely specify the position of the button/key.

4. Improve operator' s recognition speed.
