1、Designation: F2750 09F2750 16Standard Test Method forDetermining the Effects of Bending a Membrane Switch orAssemblyPrinted Electronic Device1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2750; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the
2、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 a method for the bending of any part of a membrane switch o
3、r printed electronic device withconductive circuits.1.1.1 The values given in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the res
4、ponsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 bendto force from a straight form into a different and especially a curved one.2.1.1.1 DiscussionIn t
5、his case, no “hard” or angled crease or fold is to occur. The substrate will only be formed into a radius.2.1.2 bend cyclea bend of a sample around a specified mandrel which is “rolled” in one direction, followed by rolling in theopposite direction, returning the sample to its original position (see

Significance and Use3.1 Bending of membrane switches switches, printed electronic device or their components can affect their visual appearance,mechanical integrity or electrical functionality. This test method simulates conditions that may be seen during manufacture,installation or use.3.2
8、 Bend testing may be destructive, therefore any samples tested should be considered unfit for future use.3.3 Specific areas of testing include, but are not limited to:3.3.1 Membrane switch flex tails, tails or printed electronic device, and3.3.2 Any component of a membrane switch or printed electron
9、ic device that may be subjected to bending.4. Interferences4.1 The following parameters may affect the results of this test:4.1.1 temperature,4.1.2 humidity, and4.1.3 orientation of the conductor (either extension or compression) could have significant impact on the results.NOTE 1Experience has show

Test Samples6.1 The test samples may be components, tail assembles or finished switches. If the sample length is too short
16、 for the test fixture,a sample coupon of the same construction (layer to layer) must be provided (minimum; 250 mm length by 25 mm width).6.2 The width of the test sample must not exceed the length of the mandrel.7. Procedure7.1 Clamp one end of the test sample to the test fixture this is the static
