What Is A PCB Switch?
A type of electrical switch that is identified by a printed circuit board is called a PCB switch. The main feature of this type of switch is the application of the printed circuit board. The fundamental circuitry of the PCB powers the mechanism of the switch.
PCB Switch
It is an electrical part that is placed in order to control a circuit by completing or breaking it. When you turn on the switch, the circuit turns completely.
On the other hand, when you turn off the switch the circuit breaks. The connection of the circuit breaks when the switch is switched off.
What Are The PCB Switch Types?
There are different types of PCB switches nowadays. The use of these switches has become popular all over the world, hence the varieties came. The switch has replaced the classic switches of late.
PCB Switch Types
These switches come in several forms. The classification is done on the basis of the PCB type. Some types of PCB switches are as follows.
- PCB micro switch
- PCB MEC switch
- PCB push button
- DIP switch
- PCB toggle switch
- PCB rocker switch
- Coded rotary switch
What Are The Materials Of PCB Switch?
Every switch is made of various materials. The type of material depends on the type of the printed circuit board switch. Though the materials vary from one PCB to another, some basic materials stay the same for every switch.
The materials used in a switch have two main purposes. The first one is to conduct electricity. And the other one is providing insulation in the middle of the copper conducting layers.
PCB Switch Materials
A PCB consists of materials that have several components and transmission lines. The components of the materials enable microwave circuits or radiofrequency. That is why selecting the material for a PCB is so important as it directly influences the performance of the switch.
PCB material determines the failure or success of the switch. It also impacts the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the PCB as well as thermal behavior.
The main and common materials of a PCB switch are substrate, copper laminate, solder mask, and silkscreen. The substrate material mainly determines the type of the PCB and provides many options.
Why Do We Use PCB Switch?
Many businesses and industries prefer PCB switches though there are many other electrical switches available. The main reason behind this is these switches work with electricity flow with low resistance. Copper which is a largely conductive material provides the switchless resistance to electricity.
This switch is suitable for outdoor usage. Using a PCB for outdoor applications is the perfect solution. They are able to work properly in extreme heat and humidity and rainy, harsh environments.
We use these switches as we can plate them on different types of plates. There is a use of gold-plated switches as well. In this case, the switch is mounted on a plate of gold.
We can apply several soldering methods for the switches. That also makes the manufacturing process pretty easy. To utilize all of these criteria perfectly, we use PCB switches.
Watch the following video.
What Are The Applications Of PCB Switch?
Printed circuit board switches are essential for many electronic devices. Any electronic device can not function properly if it does not have a working switch. All the industries that require electronic devices for their applications use this type of switch.
Applications Of PCB Switch
Some crucial applications of PCB switch are as follows.
- Consumer electronics
- Computer electronics
- Telecommunication industry
- Automotive industry
- Medical equipment
- Aeronautical industry
What Are The Advantages Of PCB Switch?
The PCB switch has several advantages in several fields. Mainly they are perfect for outdoor uses. Because of its advantages, the use of this switch is only increasing day by day.
Advantages Of PCB Switch
Some main advantages of this switch are as follows.

- A printed circuit board switch usually consists of a backlight allowing its extensive customization. You can see fiber optics, LED PCB, light guides, electroluminescent that contain standard solutions of backlighting for the switches.
How Does PCB Switch Work?
We use PCB switches in most electric devices. A switch contains a conductive path in order to control a circuit. You can close or open a circuit by pressing or engaging the switch.
The associated electric device responds according to your recommendation.
Different types of printed board circuit switches are available in the industry. One manufacturer designs PCB switches differently from the other. Different switches function differently for their applications.
Some switches use a fabric layer covered with copper. This switch is known as copper-clad laminate. It has conductive properties of its own that flow electricity through it when we turn on the switch and complete the circuit.
The switch allows electricity to flow through the circuit without resisting it much. Copper which is an extremely conductive material is used to cover the PCB. As a result, the switch emerges from copper.
This copper material of the switch provides a less electrical resistance level for the circuit. The general performance and design of PCB switches are notably improved by modern technological advances. As a result, these switches are now able to work more efficiently and be durable. Watch the following video.
What Is The Assembly Process Of PCB Switch?
The assembly process of the PCB switch is very important as well. The assembly process is pretty complex and professional. PCB assembly is a primary step of manufacturing a printed circuit board switch.
We utilize PCB assembly to test new and modified electronic designs. It also ensures the quality of the printed circuit board by thoroughly checking. The PCB assembly process makes sure that there is no bug in the test stage of the PCB and then updates the design.
The assembly process generally requires two or three iterations in the procedure to make sure that everything is going fine.
Assembly Process Of PCB Switch
The assembly process is pretty delicate and complex. As the fabrication and manufacturing depend on it, you need to be very careful in this phase. Also, make sure that the cost of your switch matches your budget in the assembly process.
The PCB assembly will give you an idea about the time and cost of the manufacturing process. The design also gets modified in the procedure. The manufacturing company generally looks after the manufacturing process.
How Many Ways Are There To Mount PCB Switch?
There are actually some ways to mount PCB switches. Two of the methods are mostly used in mounting switches. Both of them are commonly applied and basic mounting methods.
PCB Switch Mounting Process
The first method to mention is the PCB mounting method. And the other one is the plate mounting method. The manufacturer uses both of them as per the requirement of the application.
How Is PCB Switch Mounting Done?
PCB switches are versatile. There are many arrangement options for the switches. If you want to deploy the switch in engineering and machinery, there are more arrangement options.
PCB switch mounting method is applicable for typical switches. The switch used in this method has a definite mounting procedure, a modular design, and front protection.
The manufacturer mounts the switches without a plate in this method. The method also includes a 3 pin switch or a 5 pin switch. Two of them are basically the same beneficial, one does not need to be better than the other switch.
PCB Switch Soldering
As the system does not use a plate for mounting, the support system of the switches gets complicated. There is a lack of reinforcement in the system. That is why it may be less stable, particularly on a keyboard.
This method is the most used one among the PCB switch mounting methods. Nevertheless, we get cheap switches with this kind of mounting method rather than the plate mounting of switches.
What Is Plate Mounting Of PCB Switch?
The plate mounting process of a PCB switch refers to the switch installation on top of a metal plate that is located over the PCB. The manufacturer first places the switches on the plate of metal. Then they solder them on the PCB.
By this process, the keyboard is stabilized and reinforced thoroughly. This process also makes the keys heavier in weight. Because we use such plates on large keyboards, it offers way more support as it has a larger size.
The larger size provides the keyboard more solidity as well. It secures the keyboard by providing more safety. Extra inflexibility is also incorporated into the keyboard which strengthens the safety.
Plate Mounting Of PCB Switch
A PCB mounted PCB switch and a plate mounted switch is different in different aspects. A plate-mounted switch does not need additional guiding pins whereas a PCB -mounted PCB switch needs three or five pins.
The reason behind this difference is pretty simple. We mount the switch on a plate in the plate mounting method and in PCB mounting method, we mount the switches on a printed circuit board.
The process of removing the plate after the switches are soldered on the plate is extremely difficult. You should keep this fact in mind. However, the keyboards and switches using the plate-mounting procedure last longer and are way better in quality.
What Is The Manufacturing Process Of PCB Switch?
The PCB switch follows a specific manufacturing process. You get your customized quality product through the manufacturing process. The manufacturing company that you choose runs the manufacturing process.
Manufacturing Process Of PCB Switch
The manufacturing process of the switch is usually very diaphanous. The steps that are followed in the manufacturing procedure are as follows.
- First step: Designing the PCB
- Second step: Printing the design
- Third step: Process of fabricating
- Fourth step: Inspection process
- Final step: Layup process
What Vias Do You Use In PCB Switch?
A via contains two pads in a PCB switch taking positions on different board layers. The vias are connected electrically by a hole through the PCB. The hole is generally conductive by electroplating.
Vias In PCB Switch
There are several types of vias drilled into a printed circuit board switch. The type of PCB depends on the functionality of the PCB. The via types of a PCB switch are as follows.
- Blind vias
- Buried vias
- Through-hole vias
- Via in pad
- Micro vias
- Stacked vias
- Staggered vias
What Is DIP In PCB Switch?
DIP is a type of PCB switch. DIP is an abbreviation of dual-line package switch. DIP PCB switch controls a PCB’s electricity flow.
A DIP switch is made of electronic switches that are manual but small. The small electronic switches function is to pack with a few circuits. It may work as multi-switch units or a single one.
DIP Switch
The manufacturer installs the DIP in a PCB, then it can be customized according to the attributes of the device. The DIP has total control over every precise function of the device.
DIP PCB switches look like the distinctive little toggle row switches. DIP switch is an affordable and simple switch option of altering between hardware options and diverse devices.
Why Do You Use DIP In PCB Switch?
The use of DIP PCB switches is numerous. Some of the main uses of the DIP PCB switches are as follows.
- DIP PCB switch works as an instrument in fixing various radio frequencies. The radio frequencies are used for transmitter and receiver pairing.
- DIP contains expansion modules, hard drives, modems, motherboards, video cards, and some other auxiliary accessories and components.
Use Of DIP Switch
- We apply the DIP switch in some universal or multiple-device remote controls. The DIP in the switches stops electrical interference. As a result, the remote prevents unintentional control of an unintended device.
- We utilize DIP PCB switches in the doors of garages. The switch works for the opening mechanism.
- DIP switch is the configuration of multiple alternatives. Hardware components and pc peripherals can not but utilize it.
How Does DIP In PCB Switch Work?
DIP switch is one of the most influential types of PCB switches. The use of this specific kind of switch is versatile. The DIP switch works delicately as well.
We categorize DIP switches for specific roles and applications. DIP switch is known for its safe operational rate of power, current, and voltage. You need to check the manufacturing ability of a manufacturer for a particular DIP switch.
DIP Switch Work Process
As it’s very delicate, there may be problems that you may face. The DIP switch has electrical arcing and self-mounted switches. That is why there are risks of the instability of the performance and damage of the application of the device.
There are also several kinds of DIP switches available for measuring and testing devices, arcade machines, production and editing equipment, automatic garage doors, industrial and machinery sector control, etc.
DIP switches are mostly used on the motherboard of a computer as there are several configuration settings. A standard DIP switch can be made of up to sixteen switches as well as a toggle, rocker, slide, or rotary switch. The manufacturer mounts all of them on a small block.
Why Do You Use A PCB Membrane Switch Combination?
A PCB membrane switch contains an even surface keypad assembly and a low profile. Many applications in different industries use a membrane switch accompanying rigid PCB. It replaces the silver conductors that are screen printed on polyester sheets.
Gold plated PCB switch contact pads. The gold-plated dome switches increase the application’s reliability to a high level. The switches also provide increased functioning life that too lessens contact bounces and switches resistance.
PCB Membrane Switch Combination
If you use a customized membrane PCB switch in the design of your application, you will be able to apply soldered LEDs as well as many more electrical components. There will be better connector options on the PCB as well. These connector selections are equivalent to the membrane PCB switch cost.
User interfaces with PCB function finer in applications where there is a possibility of vibration, temperature range, extended shock occurring. The connector and the fragile tail are the most delicate part of the silver printed membrane switch assembly.
You can get the best performance by applying a silver printed membrane switch following some specific characteristics. You need to apply circuit board-based and highly reliable keyboards for that. You also need to utilize keypads with standard welded connectors for the closing.
Can PCB Switch Fail?
A PCB switch is very complex from both the designing and manufacturing aspects. As a result, there arises a lot of opportunities for the switch to fail to work. The manufacturer needs to be very careful throughout the designing and manufacturing process to avoid the failure of the switch.
PCB Switch Failure
There are some common reasons for the PCB to fail. Some of the reasons are given below.
- Insufficient copper deduction
- Slivers
- Bad soldering
- Plating voids
- Acid traps
- Missing solder mask
- Starved thermals
- Electromagnetic issues
- Poor component selection
How Much does PCB Switch Cost?
There is no fixed pricing of PCB switches. The price differs from one manufacturer to the other. The cost mainly depends on the component of the switch, materials, assembly process, surface finishes, manufacturing process, etc.
PCB Switch Cost
Different manufacturers set the price for their switch differently. If you customize your switch for your application, the cost will vary as well. If you want higher functionalities on the board, it will cost more.
How Do You Choose The Right Manufacturer Of PCB Switch?
Choosing the right manufacturer is a vital step. As the outcome depends on the manufacturing process and the manufacturer. Choosing the wrong manufacturer for the switch can lead the project to go in vain.
PCB Switch Manufacturing
Check the experience of the manufacturer. If they have enough knowledge of the switch they are working on. As the assembly and manufacturing process is fragile, they should use advanced technologies.
Look for the expert team of the manufacturing company. They should have worked before with your field of application. They should also provide customization services according to your requirement.
If possible take a tour of the area of the manufacturing company. Cleanliness should be maintained.
Conclusion
PCB switches have become influential in the modern era with all their advanced functionalities. For this reason, the use of these switches is rapidly increasing in a diverse field of applications.
