KY-PC-MINI-LED Backlit Metal Keyboard With SUS304 Panel
KY-PC-MINI-LED is a compact LED backlight metal keyboard on a SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel with a 3mm aluminum alloy base plate.
Product Overview
KY-PC-MINI-LED is a compact LED backlight metal keyboard on a SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel with a 3mm aluminum alloy base plate. It is chosen for control rooms, night shift stations and vehicles where the operator has to find a key without a work light. Country-specific keyboard layouts and custom function or combination keys are supported.
- LED backlight keeps legends readable in darkened control rooms and night shifts
- SUS304 brushed stainless steel panel is anti-riot and anti-corrosion
- 3mm aluminum alloy base plate gives rigidity without excess weight at 0.7Kg net
- Working current under 100mA leaves room for other peripherals on the same rail
- Keyboard layouts of various countries are supported and customized to need
- Key strength 1.5N ± 10% avoids stray presses while staying comfortable

Application Scenarios
- Control rooms operated at low light levels
- Night shift monitoring stations
- Vehicle and mobile equipment cabins
- Broadcast and security control desks
- Dimly lit industrial enclosures
Who It Is For
- Control room integrators
- Security and surveillance system builders
- Vehicle and mobile equipment manufacturers
- OEMs supplying multi-country layouts
Problems It Solves
- Operators hunting for keys in low light
- Separate task lighting cluttering a console
- Base plates that flex under panel mounting stress
- Layout changes that would otherwise require new tooling for each market

How It Compares
| Non-backlit metal keyboard | Etched legends transmit LED light, so the layout stays readable without a console lamp |
|---|---|
| Backlit plastic keyboard | The SUS304 panel over a 3mm aluminum base plate is anti-riot and anti-corrosion where a moulded backlit unit is not |
Use Guide
- Confirm the 5V±5% rail can supply under 100mA including the backlight
- Specify the country layout and any combination keys before tooling
- Fit by rear mounting or front mounting to suit the console
- Operate within -10℃~45℃
