What is a transparent flexible heater? A heater is a device which is used to raise the temperature of air inside a room or any vehicle or of any equipment by maintaining a temperature in which people are comfortable and all the machinery are functioning smoothly. Often, in regions where the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius various electronic devices need to be heated up to a certain degree so that all the unwanted snow or condensation is removed. This … Continue reading “Transparent Flexible Heater: Ideal for Automotive Industry”

Printed electronics is a set of printing methods used to create electrical devices on various substrates. Printed Electronics is a fast growing technology that has grown with an increased demand for wearable electronics. As people tend to use thinner and more lightweight products, the need for smaller and more flexible PCBs grow and printed electronics technology helps in developing such thin and lightweight products. There are various industries that can benefit from printed electronics: consumer goods, healthcare, mobility, electronics, media … Continue reading “Printed Electronics – A new world of Opportunity”

Sometimes we find that even the best designed and produced membrane switches do not work as intended due to errors in handling and installation in the final product. Common errors can lead to sub-optimal performance or even complete failure. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure successful membrane switch installation. Improper handling of the membrane switch is the number one reason for switch failures. Steps to correctly mount a Membrane Switch to a surface From the opposite side of the … Continue reading “How to paste a Membrane Switch on the enclosure?”

Human Machine Interface (HMI) is any interface that allows humans to interact with machines. It enables a user to communicate with the machine. A properly designed HMI solution enhances productivity for the operator. HMI devices can be as simple as a switch controlling a motor or can be as complex as multi-touch-enabled control panel. With the development of modern technologies, the way we interact with devices has also changed. Various HMI solutions for machines Membrane Keyboard Membrane keyboards are characterized … Continue reading “Which are the available HMI solutions for machines and why are they important?”

The trend to miniaturized electronic devices has made appliance controls more vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD) from human operators. Membrane switches increase the chances of damage since the thin membrane provides less isolation than traditional full-travel switches. As the membrane keyboard is an interface between man & machine, there is a good chance that the static energy from human body will discharge while operating the keyboard. The body is charged with negative electrons. When these electrons come into contact with … Continue reading “Why EMI / ESD shielding is important in a membrane keyboard?”
