Definition:
A membrane switch is a type of switch that uses a flexible membrane to activate a circuit. It consists of several layers of material, including a top layer that is touched by the user and a bottom layer that is connected to the circuit. When the top layer is pressed down, it activates the circuit by making contact with the bottom layer. Membrane switches are commonly used in electronic devices such as phones, computers, and appliances because they are low-cost, reliable, and easy to integrate into a circuit. They are also resistant to dust, moisture, and other environmental factors, which makes them suitable for use in harsh environments.
For over 25 years, Ensel has supplied membrane switches for a wide variety of applications, including medical and industrial appliances, food service machines, and testing equipment, among others.
All membranes are customized and manufactured using advanced technology and the highest quality materials. We strive to provide you with the best value for your membrane switch needs.
Our membrane switches undergo 100% in-house testing.
A flex circuit is a pattern of conductive traces bonded to a flexible substrate. Polyester film is an excellent option for printing flexible circuits, offering chemical and heat resistance, which ensures excellent performance for all conductive inks. Adhesives can be printed or laminated to the rear of the circuit. Surface-mount components, such as resistors, LEDs, and capacitors, can be assembled onto the flexible circuit. Thin insulation and stiffeners are also viable options.
We offer the following types of flexible circuits:
IPC 6013 – Type 1
Single-sided flexible printed boards containing one conductive layer, with or without stiffeners.
IPC 6013 – Type 2
Double-sided flexible printed boards containing two conductive layers with plated-through holes (PTHs), with or without stiffeners.
IPC 6013 – Type 3
Multi-layer flexible printed boards containing three or more conductive layers with PTHs, with or without stiffeners.
All flexible circuits are put through the highest levels of testing and inspection.
