Side Keypad
KY-2030-3 Brushed Stainless Steel Side Keypad With PIN Output
KY-2030-3 is a side keypad on a SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel terminating in a PIN interface for direct connection to your controller.
Product Overview
KY-2030-3 is a side keypad on a SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel terminating in a PIN interface for direct connection to your controller. A lighter 2N ± 10% key strength suits terminals where operators make many selections in sequence. Operation temperature spans -20℃~70℃, covering unheated and sun exposed installations.
- A 2N ± 10% key strength is lighter than typical 3N pads, reducing fatigue on repeated selection
- PIN output connects straight to your controller with no protocol layer
- Operation across -20℃~70℃ suits unheated cabinets and sun exposed fascias
- Working current under 100mA keeps the load low on a shared supply rail
- Rear or front mounting fits both new builds and retrofits
Application Scenarios
- Side key columns beside a terminal display
- Outdoor equipment across a wide temperature range
- Controller boards scanning the keypad matrix directly
- Self service machines with repeated menu selection
- Panel builds with a constrained power budget
Who It Is For
- Terminal designers scanning keys on their own board
- Equipment OEMs specifying side keypads
- Integrators working across hot and cold sites
Problems It Solves
- Heavy 3N keys tire operators who make dozens of selections per transaction
- USB keypads add a protocol layer where a matrix read would do
- Standard keypads lose their temperature rating outdoors
- Printed legends wear off frequently pressed keys
Technical Features
- SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel and buttons, anti-riot and anti-corrosion
- Power supply 5V±5% with working current under 100mA
- PIN product interface
- Key size 12.5mm*20mm*2mm with 0.45mm key trip
- Key strength 2N ± 10%
- Durability greater than 2 million operations
- Net weight 1Kg and gross weight 1.15Kg

How It Compares
| KY2078A 18 pin keypad | KY-2030-3 uses a lighter 2N ± 10% key strength and a wider -20℃~70℃ operating range |
|---|---|
| USB side keypads | The PIN output is read directly by your controller without a USB stack |
| Indoor rated keypads | Operation from -20℃ to 70℃ suits unheated and sun exposed installations |
Use Guide
- Agree the PIN matrix mapping before laying out your controller board
- Provide 5V±5% and allow for under 100mA draw
- Select front or rear mounting to match the fascia
- Allow for the 1Kg net weight when sizing panel supports
- Keep operation within -20℃~70℃
