Characteristics and uses of silica gel
Silicone is a kind of rubber. The vulcanized silicone rubber has heat resistance, cold resistance, ozone resistance, atmospheric aging resistance and good electrical insulation properties.
The disadvantage of silicone rubber is that the tensile strength and elongation at break are small, and the compression deformation is large.
Suitable for making parts used in high temperature, low temperature, sunlight, atmosphere, ozone environment and electrical insulation parts.
Dimensional accuracy and recommended labeling tolerances
Trajectory material is an elastomer, compared to the plastic material, the direct impact of the shrinkage rate of many and complex factors, precision than plastic parts more difficult to do accurate, in the specific design should be fully considered, there should be no high precision.
If the basic size is too large to meet the dimensional accuracy required by the design, it can be solved by the method of deformation of the positioning column with the substrate. Where dimensional accuracy is required, there must be room for convenient mold repair in the design.
Etched text and patterns
Silicone substrate can be designed out of the trademark pattern and text, in the molding products at the same time molding out. The group and text on the products are convex and concave two types, considering the convenience of mold processing, are generally designed as convex.
In order to facilitate the replacement of marks or models, the marked parts can be designed as inserts during mold design. When the product model changes, only the marked parts in the mold cavity can be replaced to meet the needs of mark replacement. As part of this type of article, it should be designed to allow the presence of flash debris at the contour of the insert tile at the marked location.
For conductive rubber, the stroke is generally 0.8~1.5mm; the exhaust groove (I. e. gas pit) is designed to prevent adsorption between the PCB and the key action.
For tact switches, the stroke depends on the stroke of the switch itself (and the stroke for preventing misoperation), as described later. If the substrate is not bonded to the PCB board, the structural element of the air slot can be omitted.
The key design has a hand feeling problem. Different graphs correspond to different hand feelings. According to experience, when (FP-FC)/FP is 40%-60%, the hand feeling is better.
Key Typical Structure and Application
According to the specific occasions where the keys are used, as well as the specific requirements of the product for the service life, pressing force, and hand feeling of the keys, the structure and application of the keys are shown in the following figure.
The life of the silicone key is directly related to the material and the inclined wall structure, and is determined according to the design requirements.
Part of the product silicone key life reference:
Remote controller: 500000 times;
Telephone type: 1 million times;
Laptop computers: 4 million to 5 million times;
Computer keyboard: 500~10 million;
The life of silicone keys for monitoring products is defined as more than 500000 times;
The ordinary life of B- super silicone keys is defined as more than 1 million times,
