Membrane Sensor

Overview:

The collection and the processing of the information has been always playing a key role during an information revolution. Whereas in the era of Internet of Things, sensor technology is regarded as the key. A sensor is the eyes and the ears of IoT.

 

Ideal Jacobs provides highly customized membrane sensors with the fine-line silkscreen printing technology. With the feature of being ultra-thin, flexible, durable and ease of installation, our membrane sensors favor in our customer’s product innovation and cost reduction.


Ideal Jacobs currently specifies in two types of sensors: Film Force Sensor & Position Sensor.

--The Film Force Sensor responds to a different resistance value by the force applied to the sensing area.

--The Position senor is a device that can detect the movement of an object and convert it into electrical signals. It further detects motion, speed, direction or distance of a target. It is also known as membrane potentiometer.

Silver Flexible Circuit Solutions
In order to provide a more cost-effective solution for our customers, Ideal Jacobs is honored to launch our new high performing “Silver Flexible Circuit” solution which can replace traditional etched copper traces on polyimide with fine spaces, narrow silver traces and complex components on a polyester substrate.



Product Features ：
 Polyester (PET) substrate - It is a flexible mate- rial, which can replace rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) and is more cost-effective than polyamide.

The width and space of the circuit in total is only 0.5mm, which can also be improved during the design process. This type of circuit also has low resistance and high conductivity, which can be formed to create various effective low power signal circuits.

Proprietary soldering technique - We are using traditional SMT processes on polyester sub- strate to solder narrow pin pace (0.5mm)

Applications：
Consumer/Home Appliance/Industrial/Medical Devices


UV-cure Encapsulant - To protect the solder joints we
use the UV- cured encapsulant. This enables them to withstand vibration and mechanical shock.
This solution offers robust connection for various applications.


Silver Printing - This type of printing can replace cooper etching which is more cost-effective.

Environmentally Friendly - This type of solution does not require a facility to deal with harsh chemicals or waste materials.


It can be implanted with LED components to enhance the backlighting for user-interface.



Silver Flexible Circuit withFine Line Printing
Silver flexible circuits are ideal for low-power and low signal applications where space is a premium. By choosing silver, the customers can design a product that bends and flexes. Further- more Ideal Jacobs possess the technology of Find Line Printing, with the trace as narrow as 0.127mm . This capability provide an alternative to traditional copper circuitry, which makes silver flexible circuit more cost effective and desirable.
