To all,
Can someone explain how the membrane power switch works? My interest is purely for entertaining my curiousity. I'm interested on the scientific principles behind it.
Thanks,
John
Hi John;
Thanks for your recent inquiry about Bryston's membrane power
switches. This type of switch works as a normally-open momentary
electrical contact. It consistes of two conductive elements
separated by a small air-gap. Pressing on the outer membrane
causes these conductors to come into contact. At that point there is
a logic circuit whioch recognizes that the switch has been cycled,
and either initiates startup or shutdown, depending on which was
the previous command.
I hope the above was clear, but please let me know if you have
any other questions. Thanks again for your interest in Bryston.
Sincerely,
Chris Russell
