Most of the technology and electronic products we use today would not be possible without the invention of Printed Circuit Board (PCB). PCBs not only helped in reducing the size of the electronic product but it also helped in making the product cost effective. Printed Circuit Board is the most commonly used name but it may also be called as Printing Wiring Boards or Printed Wiring Cards. A Printed Circuit Board is the most vital element in an electronic circuit. … Continue reading “Importance of Printed Circuit Boards – An Overview”

How does one make a membrane switch visible only when lit?
Posted on March 25, 2021March 25, 2021Categories Uncategorized Leave a comment on How does one make a membrane switch visible only when lit?Have you ever wondered how you can make your membrane switch visible only when you want it to glow. Dead front technology is the answer. In this technology, the Dead Front Panel illuminates and draws attention to the icons and alpha-numeric indicators as required. When non-backlit i.e. when the keys are not pressed, the icons remain hidden and the panel retains a more monochromatic and streamlined look. Dead front membrane switches can be created with either printed inks or by … Continue reading “How does one make a membrane switch visible only when lit?”

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?”
Which are the available HMI solutions for machines and why are they important?
Posted on March 8, 2021March 8, 2021Categories Uncategorized Leave a comment on Which are the available HMI solutions for machines and why are they important?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?”
Why EMI / ESD shielding is important in a membrane keyboard?
Posted on March 3, 2021March 3, 2021Categories Uncategorized Leave a comment on Why EMI / ESD shielding is important in a membrane keyboard?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?”
How to protect your communications using AES Encrypted devices?
Posted on January 27, 2021March 1, 2021Categories Uncategorized 2 Comments on How to protect your communications using AES Encrypted devices?It may be a season of flu, but not all viruses are biological. Many of the most damaging bugs in the offices are not only digital in nature, but are completely undetectable. We may think that cyber security only involves strong passwords and a good firewall guarding the router. Once upon a time, that’s all it took. But now in 2021, you need much more than just a strong password to handle all the clever cybercriminals. One of the most … Continue reading “How to protect your communications using AES Encrypted devices?”
