Monopanel’s, ‘Forward looking,’ business model has spurred some of the greatest breakthroughs in the Membrane Switch industry. Having in house printed circuit board manufacturing capabilities allows Monopanel to control every aspect of product quality and production. As backlighting quality becomes more important in today's technology based world Monopanel has gone beyond the ordinary membrane switch assembly construction modules. The use of Printed Circuit Board allows LED and other electrical components to be soldered in place vs. held by conductive epoxy. Soldered components have a stronger mechanical and electrical connection, when given the opportunity, Printed Circuit Board based products do offer some advantages over film based products, though film based products are very reliable in many applications. The use of a Printed Circuit Board substrate with optional daughter board offers other advantages for innovative backlighting that provides quality above past methods:

1. The use of mounting studs and or stand offs
2. Mounting of 7 segment LEDs
3. Mounting of LCD or other types of displays
4. Diffuses light and helps to eliminates LED hot spots

Call 414 256 5200 or email Monopanel for samples engineered to your specifications before you take the "common" road for developing your membrane switch assembly with backlighting.

Integrated graphics on layered assembly faces allow effortless aesthetic or language designs changes. Endura is the standard for caustic, harsh and destructive applications. Monopanel’s past makes Monopanel the membrane switch industry keystone. Monopanel’s past coupled with integrated membrane switch assemblies makes Monopanel your keystone for a more profitable future.

The value added services we provide:

Complete front panel switch assemblies

For your next project, consider the benefits of integrating the membrane switching elements with electronic components and hardware for a complete front panel assembly. In addition to membrane switches, Monopanel Technologies can produce ergonomically designed assemblies with pleasing aesthetics to achieve the functionality you need for your front panel.

FLEXIBLE DESIGNS

Incorporate everything associated with the switches on the front panel, including SMD and through-hole devices such:

• Displays
• LEDs
• Diodes
• Resistors
• Capacitors
• Mechanical items like bezels,studs and standoffs
• Designs can incorporate a variety of options including discrete switches, silicone rubber boots and membrane switches
• A wide variety of printed circuit boards are available ranging from .015" to .125" thickness
• Simple to complex designs - some incorporating membrane switches on the front and multilayer printed circuit boards populated in the rear
• If material thickness is an issue, LEDs and other components can be embedded in packages of less than .030"
• Cost savings - eliminate the need to purchase several separate components
• Single interface cable assemblies eliminate unnecessary wires - increasing space savings and reducing the likelihood of disconnects
• Units can be functionally tested to your requirements eliminating any testing ambiguities
• Daughter boards are easily attached to accommodate additional electronics or displays
• Monopanel Technologies manufactures its own printed circuit boards, offering you greater flexibility and time savings
• Our engineering team will work with you to determine the degree of integration needed for your application.

Membrane Switch Assembly Successes Abound

PROBLEM Give the product a new look and cut cost at the same time. SOLUTION A complete assembly featuring a Monopanel membrane switch. A manufacturer came to Monopanel Technologies looking to eliminate costly hard wired switches and to give their product a new look without going through a complete redesign, the answer was easy. Incorporate a Monopanel membrane switch into a complete Monopanel assembly that fits into the customers existing cabinet. The advantage of a Monopanel membrane switch assembly is that it just plugs in and is ready to go. No costly, hard wired, electro-mechanical switches. Monopanel Technologies can offer a turn key switch assembly lowering assembly time for our customers. Incorporating displays, LED's and other electronics can reduce assembly time even further. Since the top layer is second surface, screen printed polyester, color and graphic options are almost unlimited. In this case, two different models are made from the same assembly by simply applying a different top layer. This also makes private labeling something easy to accomplish. Down the line, when a new look is needed, change colors or text and an updated version can be created.
