Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Schaltfolie für Mattentastaturen mit auf einer Trägerfolie aus Isolierstoff aufgebrachten Leiterbahnen sowie Kontakt stellen für Tasten und den Steckerbereich.The invention relates to a method for producing a Switching foil for mat keyboards with on a carrier foil made of insulating material applied conductor tracks and contact places for buttons and the connector area.
Schaltfolie für Mattentastaturen werden zur Zeit durch fol gendes Verfahren hergestellt. Auf einer Trägerfolie erfolgt ein erster Druck des Leiterbildes mit einer Silberpaste, die in einem zweiten Druckvorgang mit einer Graphitpaste über deckt wird. Die Überdeckung mit Graphit führt auch über die fingerartig ineinandergreifenden Kontaktstellen sowie über den Steckerbereich. Diese Maßnahme ist erforderlich, um Sil berwanderung zwischen den, ein unterschiedliches elektrisches Potential führenden Leiterbahnen zu unterbinden und die Korrosion des Silbers zu verhindern.Switching foil for mat keyboards are currently by fol manufactured process. Made on a carrier film a first print of the conductor pattern with a silver paste, the in a second printing process using a graphite paste is covered. The covering with graphite also leads to the interlocking contact points as well as over the connector area. This measure is required to Sil migration between the, a different electrical To prevent potential conductive tracks and the To prevent corrosion of the silver.
Werden aufgrund der Schaltungsauflösung Brückendrucke erfor derlich, so werden diese, nach Aufbringen eines Dielektri kums, in der oben beschriebenen Reihenfolge mit Silber und Graphit fortgeführt. Abschließend wird die gesamte Folie mit Ausnahme der Kontaktstellen in einem letzten Druck mit einem Isolierlack abgedeckt.Are bridge prints required due to the circuit resolution these become, after applying a dielectric kums, in the order described above with silver and Graphite continued. Finally, the entire slide is included Except for the contact points in a last print with a Insulating varnish covered.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Funktion dieser Schaltfo lien zu verbessern sowie eine Verbilligung im Fertigungsab lauf zu erzielen.The object of the invention is the function of this Schaltfo lien to improve as well as a cheaper manufacturing to achieve a run.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß einem Verfahren nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Leiterbahnen sowie die Kontaktstel len mit einem wanderungsbeständigen Material wie Kupferpaste oder einer entsprechenden Legierung gedruckt werden, daß die gesamte Trägerfolie auf der bedruckten Seite mit Ausnahme der Kontaktstellen mit einem Isolierlack überdeckt werden und daß auf die Kontaktstellen eine korrosionsbeständige, für Schaltzwecke geeignete Schicht aufgebracht wird.This object is achieved according to a method according to the invention solved in that the conductor tracks and the contact point len with a migration-resistant material such as copper paste or a corresponding alloy that the entire carrier film on the printed side with the exception the contact points are covered with an insulating varnish and that on the contact points a corrosion-resistant, for Suitable layer switching purposes is applied.
Aufgrund der Erfindung werden die Leiterbahnen anstelle mit einer Silberpaste mit einer Kupferpaste gedruckt. Die bisher erforderliche komplette Überbedruckung der Leiterbahnen mit einer Graphitpaste entfällt somit, da Kupfer praktisch wande rungsbeständig ist. Darüberhinaus hat Kupfer in etwa die gleiche Leitfähigkeit wie Silber. Da außerdem die Kupferpaste mit einer Isolierlacküberdeckung ausreichend korrosionsbe ständig ist, benötigt man nur noch im offenen Kontakt- und Steckerbereich eine Überbedruckung mit einer korrosionsbe ständigen, für Schaltzwecke geeignete Schicht.Due to the invention, the conductor tracks are instead of with a silver paste printed with a copper paste. The so far required complete overprinting of the conductor tracks with a graphite paste is therefore not necessary since copper is practically wall is resistant to aging. In addition, copper has about that same conductivity as silver. Since also the copper paste sufficient corrosion protection with an insulating varnish cover is only necessary in open contact and Plug area an overprint with a corrosion permanent layer suitable for switching purposes.
Es ist zweckmäßig, daß die korrosionsbeständige Schicht aus einer Silber-Palladium-Legierung besteht, da eine solche Schicht sich besonders gut für Schaltzwecke eignet.It is expedient that the corrosion-resistant layer is made of a silver-palladium alloy, as such Layer is particularly suitable for switching purposes.
Für andere Schaltströme hat sich als korrosionsbeständige Schicht Gold oder Palladium bewährt.For other switching currents it has proven to be corrosion resistant Gold or palladium layer proven.
Zum Schutz gegen elektromagnetische Beeinflussungen ist es zweckmäßig, daß die Rückseite der Trägerfolie mit einem Netz von Leiterbahnen aus Kupfer oder Nickel bzw. einer entspre chenden Legierung bedruckt wird, die mit Ausnahme des An schlußbereiches vollständig von Isolierlack bedeckt werden.It is to protect against electromagnetic interference expedient that the back of the carrier film with a network of conductor tracks made of copper or nickel or one Alloy is printed, with the exception of the An closing area are completely covered by insulating varnish.
Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, daß zur Herstellung von Brücken der Isolierlack mit einer Kupferpaste bedruckt wird, worauf wiederum eine Isolierlackschicht aufgebracht wird.It is also advantageous that for the production of Bridges the insulating varnish is printed with a copper paste, whereupon an insulating varnish layer is applied.
Durch all diese Maßnahmen werden folgende Vorteile erreicht. Die Verwendung von Silber entfällt im Bereich des Leiterbil des. Hierdurch wird eine Einsparung des Edelmetalles erzielt. Weiterhin wird durch Umstellen der Druckpaste im Bereich des Leiterbildes von Silber auf Kupfer eine hohe Wanderungsbe ständigkeit erreicht. Aus diesem Grund wird ein Folgedruck nur mehr im offenen Kontakt- bzw. Steckerbereich erforder lich, was eine Pasteneinsparung bedeutet. Im Brückenbereich entfällt nach dem Kupferdruck der Graphitfolgedruck völlig. Dies bedeutet eine Einsparung eines Druckvorganges und eine Ersparnis der Paste. Die Möglichkeit, im Kontakt- bzw. im Steckerbereich partiell und damit geringe Mengen beispiels weise Silber-Palladium zu drucken, ermöglicht niederohmige Kontaktstellen zu fertigen bzw. den Steckerübergang zu ver bessern. Weiterhin wird die Typenauswahl der benötigten Leit pasten von bisher drei Sorten auf zwei reduziert. Durch den Entfall des Graphitüberdrucks können schließlich die Leiter bahnabstände verringert werden und damit hohe Auflösungen bis hin zum 1,27 mm Raster ausgeführt werden.The following advantages are achieved by all these measures. Silver is not used in the area of the conductor bilge This saves the precious metal. Furthermore, by changing the printing paste in the area of Head pattern of silver on copper a high migration achieved consistency. For this reason, a subsequent print only required in the open contact or plug area what a paste saving means. In the bridge area After the copper printing, the subsequent graphite printing is completely eliminated. This means saving one printing process and one Saving the paste. The possibility in the contact or in Partial connector area and thus small quantities for example Printing wise silver-palladium enables low-resistance To manufacture contact points or to ver the connector transition improve. Furthermore, the type selection of the required guidance pastes from three types reduced to two. By the The conductors can finally eliminate the excess graphite pressure web distances are reduced and thus high resolutions up towards the 1.27 mm grid.
