Repair the Non-Conductive Silicone Rubber Keypads

What is membrane switch repair?

A membrane switch is a type of electrical switch that is commonly used in electronic devices. It consists of a thin, flexible membrane that is printed with conductive circuits, which allows it to function as a switch when it is pressed. Membrane switches are used in a variety of applications, such as remote controls, medical equipment, and industrial machinery.

Membrane switch repair refers to the process of repairing a damaged or malfunctioning membrane switch. This may involve replacing the entire membrane switch assembly or repairing specific components of the switch, such as the conductive circuits or the connectors. The repairing membrane keypads process will depend on the specific problem with the membrane switch and the type of device it is used in.

It is important to have a qualified technician perform membrane switch repair to ensure that the repair is done correctly and that the switch will function properly. Attempting to repair a membrane switch without the necessary knowledge and expertise can cause further damage and may even result in injury or damage to the device.

In life, we often encounter silicone rubber keypad products, TV remote controls, industrial remote controls, and medical controllers. Products sometimes have non-conducting functions. Niceone-tech customers sometimes ask us whether they can restore their functions through some methods. Of course, some methods can be used to repair membrane keypads and make the buttons continue to be used.

1. Clean the surface of non-conductive silicone rubber keys:

Generally, it can be cleaned by means of an eraser, sandpaper, blade, and other tools. For some seriously non-conductive silicone keypad surfaces, the blade can be used to cut off part of the surface. However, this method will have a certain impact on the appearance of silicone products.

2. Membrane switch repair can be done with smeared conductive silver paste;

In case you don't know what a conductive silver paste is, this is often used in the production of membrane keypad manufacturers to repair their smudge contacts.

3. Conductive glue;

First, the non-conductive silicone keys need to be cleaned to keep the surface clean, and then the conductive glue is applied to the non-conductive area to achieve the membrane button repair.

4. The method of carbon coating to repair membrane keypads can also be used.

Need to repair the membrane keypads wash again, and then use a dry cloth to wipe, makeup, make it not conductive surface and use a pencil to daub on the surface. To note here is that pencil is a substance containing carbon elements, so using them to repair the conductive rubber membrane buttons, is relatively more than the cost of this way is economical.
