  1. Advantages of Membrane Keypad Design for Medical Electronics

  2. Introduction • Technology has improved a lot and bounds in a small period. • In this technologically advanced era, there are amazing innovative inventions found, such as Membrane keypads and switches.  • Membrane keypads act as an aesthetic user that interferes with the hardware and software control system. • Everyone uses these keypads in day today's lives, microwaves operate, dishwashers, or washing machines, through membrane keypads.

  3. This technology may look smaller and weightless but is the better usage it generates. Membrane keypads are the best examples of advanced modern technology. • And it brings easy solutions for all the present-day problems. • Membrane keypads and switches are designed very well suited for medical electronics. • It is more apt for handheld medical equipment and the portable device. • Membrane keypads and switches are lightweight, durable, low profile, and are easy to clean. 

  4. A wide variety of membrane keypads and switches are available in the market according to the user needs. • Membrane keypads are not only designed for medical electronics, but also a choice of interface for many other products, including industrial controls, automotive controls, toys, and games.

  5. What are Membrane keypads and Switches? • Membrane keypads or switches are non-separate and a whole pressure design pads. • They have only outlines and symbols printed on a stretchy flat surface. • Membrane keypads are functioning with electrical contact between underneath the circuit and keypad surface when the keypads are pressed. • They are used in many different industries, including white goods, medical, electronics, marine, and security.

  6. Design: • Membrane keypads and switches designed to keep them free of grime and dirt. • As mentioned before, it is a fully sealed surface that makes cleaning and maintenance easy. • There is no clot of dirt or grime, so the circuit function smoothly and making them more durable. • Adaptive designs are available for different needs of customers, and some designs are waterproof.

  7. Durability: • According to the budget, the material used to make these membranes differs. • There are two different materials used for production: Polycarbonate (Lexan) and Polyester (PET). • Polyester is a bit expensive, and Polycarbonate is more of an aesthetic choice. • While using solvent-based chemicals, it won’t be effective in cost-effective Polycarbonate. • The fully sealed membrane keypad and switches offer easy cleaning and durability.

  8. Easy to clean and maintain: • Membrane keypads and switches are easy to clean and maintain. • They are exposed to all kinds of dirt and grime, and the switches set in the socket where they installed. • Moreover, membrane keypads and switches sealed from all sides and are much smoother.

  9. Cost-effective and Easy Repairs: • Membrane keypads are cost-effective and resistant to liquids and grimes. • When compared to other keyboards, membrane keypads are much easier to repair. • If any damage occurs, you can easily remove the overlaying membrane, repair the problems in the circuit, and place them back to make it fully functioning again. • This easy repairing method makes it more flexible in many industries.

  10. Graphics: •  When a graphic overlay on a medical instrument, its capability is 180° radius. You can able to see the warning lights from a distance at different angles. • Touch screens don’t provide identification as well as signal detection. • The graphic overlay is on the top layer of the membrane switch panel, and it directly interfaces between the product and the end-users.

  11. Enhanced Shielding: • Membrane keypads panel offers shielding and protection against electrostatic discharge. • Basically, protection can adopt without negotiating the performance of the switch panels. • Membrane keypads and switches have the advantages of offering better shielding to the product. • And it is designed to be waterproof, which can protect machinery from any liquid mishap. • Using waterproof material for domestic appliances membrane can protect and save the owner from spending more cash for repairing with any liquid mishap. 

  12. Adaptability and Flexibility: • The material used for manufacturing makes printing digitally. • It gives accurate and crisp graphics which integrated with backlit membrane keypads and switches or with LED.  • Membrane keypads and switches are flexible in size and easily fit in any machinery or product for use.
