PET or Polyester membrane switches bring you a different switching experience

The panel materials of the membrane switch mainly include Polyester material, Polycarbonate material and PVC material, but due to poor adaptability of PVC material and environmental protection, it is basically not applied. Sometimes, we use Acrylic material for Tactile membrane Panel.

Compared with Polycarbonate mean PC materials, PET mean Polyester materials have higher hardness. Therefore, membrane switches with high frequency and high force on the button parts need to use PET as the panel material. For example, we need to use the washing machine in our daily life, which is a kind of household appliance with high frequency of use. The panel material of the washing machine switch is very important. If PC is used as the panel, it will be damaged after repeated use. For consumers, it is doubtful that buying such a washing machine is the right choice. When consumers question this washing machine, the word-of-mouth of this washing machine will also drop. Therefore, the mistakes in the selection of panel materials will affect the life of the entire electronic product, and consumers prefer electronic products with long life, because this will make them feel the value of buying.

If the electronic product has a long life, and the panel material is selected without panic, the PET material will be used to help. PET materials are characterized by high transparency, high elasticity, folding resistance and high hardness. Therefore, like the washing machine, which is used frequently, it is the right choice to use PET as the panel material. In this way, the service life of the washing machine switch is prolonged. As long as the internal structure of the washing machine is not problematic, the life of the whole washing machine product will be longer, which will naturally attract more consumers.

Membrane switch manufacturers will talk about another use of PET materials. PET materials can be used not only for printing panels, but also for printed circuits. They are ideal materials for making circuits. They have good insulation, heat resistance and high ink adhesion. It can be seen that the function of PET material is still quite large, and the PET membrane switch is also a lever.
