connector
Connectors, also known as connectors, are a major category of electronic components. Special connectors for Membrane switches are different from commonly used plug-in components in the market due to constraints such as lead wire spacing, number of lead wires, connection method, and insertion and extraction strength. As users of Membrane switches, it is difficult to purchase them on their own in the market. To this end, our company will provide users with information on the performance, characteristics, parameters, and other related information of various connectors commonly used in Membrane switches, so that users can obtain relevant data in advance when designing the overall structure of the machine to make the product more perfect. Users can also choose the connection form that meets the product attributes (including high reliability, interchangeability, economy, etc.) based on the characteristics of their own products, and propose supporting requirements to our company.

Plug-in type | It is a single piece connector with a shape similar to a socket. The lower end is a pin that is directly soldered onto the circuit board, and the upper end socket is used for inserting Membrane lead strips. The installation has directionality, which can prevent reverse wiring sequence. Leads not suitable for two-piece Membrane switches | Frequent plugging and unplugging may damage the conductors of the leads. | same as | Low cost | It is a popular type and suitable for general electronic products |
|
|
Locking type | Basically the same as above, characterized by a locking mechanism, with a tensile strength of over 40N | Two locking holes need to be punched on the lead strip, making installation inconvenient | tall | higher | Suitable for products with anti vibration requirements. |
|
|
Rivet needle type | It is to use a dedicated riveting tool to rivet the metal riveting needle onto the Membrane lead. The connection between the riveting needle and the circuit board does not have a dedicated socket, which can be replaced by an IC socket or directly soldered onto the circuit board. | Installing by welding is quite inconvenient. | same as | same as | It belongs to the economic type and is suitable for low value civilian products. |
|
|
Rivet lock type | It is to use a dedicated riveting tool to rivet the metal hole terminal onto the Membrane lead strip, and match it with the corresponding plastic case socket, which can be freely inserted and pulled out with the pins on the circuit board. |
Frequent plugging and unplugging can loosen and affect the contact effect. nothing |
