The invention belongs to the technical field of membrane switches, and discloses a panel membrane switch for an inverter. The panel membrane switch comprises a panel, an upper conducting layer, a lower conducting layer and an insulation isolation layer, the insulation isolation layer is clamped between the upper conducting layer and the lower conducting layer, the panel is adhered to one side, deviating from the lower conducting layer, of the upper conducting layer, an arc-shaped reed is embedded in the upper conducting layer, one side, facing the lower conducting layer, of the arc-shaped reed is integrally connected with a moving contact perpendicular to the lower conducting layer, a trigger groove is formed in the position, corresponding to the moving contact, of the lower conducting layer, an elastic conducting thin film is sealed at the top of the trigger groove, and the moving contact abuts against the elastic conducting thin film or keeps a distance from the elastic conducting thin film; and triggering pieces are included and arranged on the arc-shaped reed, are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the moving contact, and are used for conducting the upper conducting layer and the lower conducting layer. The membrane switch is simple and stable in structure, good in pressing hand feeling and long in service life.
