S series Lite plastic keypad protects to IP67
EAO
Lite plastic keypad
EAO has released the scratch-resistant S series Lite plastic keypad, featuring a simulated matt-chrome finish.
The keypad is IP67 rated, meaning it protects against water, oil and dirt ingress.
The S series Lite offers high levels of design flexibility: many different layouts are possible within the two standard sizes, 12-key telephone or 16-key hexadecimal.
Each key can be laser etched with characters, numbers or symbols.
The keys can be illuminated with different-coloured LEDs (yellow and blue offered as standard), either around or through the legend.
The keys can be finished in different colours (non-standard and subject to volume).
Laser etching ensures the marking remains pin-sharp for years.
Using the supplied gasket allows both versions of the keypads to be mounted either from the front or rear.
They connect through an external pin-header connection.
The S series Lite is suitable for use in vending machines, ticket machines, payment terminals, telephones and access-control systems.
