TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
After nearly 50 years of refinement, and new tech arrivals like the touch screen, the membrane switch is still going strong. This is largely due to its exceptional versatility and durability.
A membrane switch is a complete human‐machine interface (HMI) that plays a starring role in how we interact with machines. Unlike mechanical switches ‐ generally constructed from copper and plastics ‐ membrane switches are printed circuits on film and at MNR Technology we excel at designing and manufacturing bespoke switch design solutions with customized graphic overlays.
Where do MNR Technology use Membrane Switches?
MNR Technology membrane switches are used in highly regulated industries including medical, aerospace, defense, industrial, food and transport.
Applications include keypads, control panels in aircraft, touch screen phones, and medical devices from infusion pumps to kidney dialysis machines and innovative plasma jet surgical devices.
What are the benefits of MNR Technology Membrane Switches?
- Compact construction provides a low‐profile.
- High IP rating – suitable for environments exposed to dirt, dust and liquids.
- The sealed and flat surface means they can be easily cleaned
- Membrane switches can be custom designed to fit your application, whether that be rugged/defense, marine, aerospace, medical, industrial or transport.
- Cost‐efficient without sacrificing functionality.
