What is the role of Membrane Switch in Wi-Fi hotspot portable products?

With the rapid development of mobile phones, their supporting measures such as WiFi have also developed. The most obvious is the Wi-Fi Hot spot portable products. And such products are extremely popular in the market. And there are various styles. It is precisely because of the rise of this type of products that we of Membrane Switch Factory have won a lot of orders. Why do Wi-Fi Hotspot portable devices use Membrane Switch? Before that, we also need to understand the usage environment of Wi-Fi Hotspot portable devices to understand why Membrane switch is so suitable for Wi-Fi Hotspot portable devices.

Wi-Fi Hotspot portable devices are often taken outdoors by users and are often exposed to UV rays and rain. How to avoid such problems, the design of the product needs to take into account the UV resistance and waterproof frame structure. Luckily for the Membrane Switch, these kinds of problems aren't that big of a deal. There are mainly two designs.

UV resistance

Use UV resistant materials such as XE series, HP92W series or even Silicone Rubber Keypad as panel material.

The main reason for using this type of material: Ultraviolet rays easily make the Overlay pigment of the Membrane Switch peel off white or even yellow, so it is necessary to choose a material that resists ultraviolet rays to protect the Membrane Switch.

The benefit of this is that the Overlay color doesn't peel and discolor over time. Significantly prolong the life of the product.

Waterproof

Secondly, most of the Membrane Switch can pass IP65, and even IP68 if the waterproof frame design is used.

A good waterproof design can not only prolong the life of the product, but also avoid short circuits and open circuits caused by moisture corrosion.

The specific design includes: waterproof frame, air vents are built in and not connected to the outside, Adhesive chooses 3M or Nitto, Buttons need to be far away from the edge, etc.

Niceone-Keypad believes that it has done a good job in these two aspects, and it also needs to consider market competitiveness for customers. The latest Resin Dome design is a transparent button formed using A+B glue, which is different from traditional Embossing. It is not only resilient, but even more aesthetic. General as shown below.
