Numeric Keypad
12 Key Industrial Backlight USB Keypad KY2068A-LED
KY2068A-LED is a 12 key numeric keypad in 304 stainless steel with hollow LED transparent buttons, so digits stay readable on night shift terminals.
Product Overview
KY2068A-LED is a 12 key numeric keypad in 304 stainless steel with hollow LED transparent buttons, so digits stay readable on night shift terminals. The compact 68*90 mm front panel suits kiosks and door entry stations where panel space is tight. It plugs in over USB and is sealed to IP65 against rain, dust and washdown.
- Hollow LED transparent buttons keep digits visible on unlit forecourts and lobbies without a separate lamp
- 68*90 mm front panel fits shallow kiosk fascias where a full keyboard will not go
- 304 stainless steel body resists impact and corrosion at public terminals
- IP65 waterproof and dustproof sealing for harsh working environments
- 2,000,000+ keystroke lifetime supports high traffic payment points
- Bottom-up installation lets the fascia stay flush with no visible fixings
Application Scenarios
- Access control and door entry systems
- Self-service payment kiosk terminals
- Vending machines and car wash systems
- Fuel dispensers and parking management terminals
- Industrial control cabinets and machine operation panels
- Banking, medical equipment and outdoor public terminal devices
Who It Is For
- Kiosk and vending machine OEMs
- Access control installers
- Car wash and fuel forecourt equipment builders
- Industrial terminal integrators
Problems It Solves
- Unlit keypads slow entry after dark, so the buttons are hollowed and lit by LED
- Kiosk fascias rarely have room for a full keyboard, so the overall body is only 88*98 mm
- Washdown and rain kill unsealed pads, so the unit carries IP65 protection
- Hosts vary, so USB is standard while RS232 and RS485 can be customized

How It Compares
| Non-backlit metal keypads | Hollow LED transparent buttons keep digits legible in low light instead of relying on ambient lighting |
|---|---|
| Larger 16 key panels | The 68*90 mm front panel frees fascia space where a bigger cutout is not available |
| Rubber keypads | Stainless steel buttons with 2,000,000+ keystroke life do not tear or go tacky at public terminals |
Use Guide
- Cut the fascia to suit the 88*98 mm overall body and fit bottom-up
- Connect the USB lead directly to the terminal PC with no driver install
- Keep the LED supply on the same rail as the terminal so backlight follows power state
- Clean the brushed face with a damp cloth rather than abrasives
