1、Designation: F2187 02 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method forDetermining the Effect of Random Frequency Vibration on aMembrane Switch or Membrane Switch Assembly1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2187; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforigina

2、l adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method establishes procedures for determiningthe effect

3、of random vibration, within the specified frequencyrange, on switch contacts, mounting hardware, adhered com-ponent parts, solder or heat stakes, tactile devices, and cable orribbon interconnects associated with a membrane switch ormembrane switch assembly.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be

4、 regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and de

Significance and Use3.1 Vib

7、ration encountered in the field is usually random innature and this test can be used to determine the effects ofrandom excitation on the membrane switch.3.2 Random vibration can cause mechanical fatigue andfailure by switch components either loosening or otherwisechanging over time.3.3 Experience ha

8、s shown that this test will expose potentialfailures associated with the electronic components of a mem-brane switch, where tests of lower levels will not.3.4 This practice can be used to qualify a membrane switchfor aerospace, medical and other applications.3.5 This test is potentially destructive,
