KY-55A01 28 Key Stainless Steel Side Keypad
KY-55A01 is an embedded side keypad with 28 stainless steel buttons on a SUS304 panel. The larger key count suits terminals that present long option lists or need dedicated function keys next to the display.
Product Overview
KY-55A01 is an embedded side keypad with 28 stainless steel buttons on a SUS304 panel. The larger key count suits terminals that present long option lists or need dedicated function keys next to the display. Black text is etched into the keys and embossing can be added where operators work by feel.
- 28 buttons handle longer menu columns and dedicated function keys in one panel
- SUS304 stainless steel keeps the panel serviceable in corrosive and high abuse locations
- Etched legends will not peel like printed overlays on heavily used terminals
- Embossing gives a tactile reference without adding separate key caps
- Customized layouts let you place function keys where your software expects them
Application Scenarios
- Financial equipment with extended menu selections
- Communications equipment operator panels
- Military equipment consoles
- Self service terminals needing dedicated function keys
- Kiosk fascias where keys flank the display on one side
Who It Is For
- Financial terminal manufacturers
- Defence and communications equipment builders
- Self service machine OEMs with complex menu trees
Problems It Solves

- Overlay printed keys become illegible on high traffic machines
- Off the shelf keypads rarely match a custom fascia layout
- Exposed keys on public terminals are targets for damage
Technical Features

- High quality SUS304 stainless steel side keypad construction
- Rugged vandal proof and anti-corrosion design
