KY-PC-N270 Compact SUS304 Metal Keyboard With Aluminum Base Plate
KY-PC-N270 is a compact metal keyboard on a high quality SUS304 stainless steel panel over a 3mm aluminum alloy base plate.
Product Overview
KY-PC-N270 is a compact metal keyboard on a high quality SUS304 stainless steel panel over a 3mm aluminum alloy base plate. The light 1.2N+/-0.1N contact force makes long entry sessions less tiring than on heavier industrial panels. Keyboard layouts for various countries and custom function or key combinations are supported.
- Light 1.2N+/-0.1N contact force reduces fatigue during long entry sessions
- SUS304 stainless panel is anti-riot and anti-corrosion on exposed installations
- 3mm aluminum alloy base plate keeps the compact panel rigid
- Working current under 100mA fits tight terminal power budgets
- Keyboard layouts of various countries supported without a new panel program
- Bottom up base plate fixed assembly hides all fasteners behind the fascia
Application Scenarios
- Compact terminal fascias with limited width
- Multi-country terminal deployments needing local layouts
- Industrial control panels with continuous data entry
- Self-service equipment on a constrained power budget
- Machine enclosures needing a low profile keyboard
Who It Is For
- OEMs exporting terminals to multiple language markets
- Panel designers working with narrow fascias
- Industrial control integrators
- Equipment builders replacing plastic compact keyboards
Problems It Solves
- Heavy key forces that tire operators over a full shift
- Layout changes that would normally require new tooling per market
- Flexing base plates on compact panels
- Peripherals that exceed the available current on a 5V rail
Technical Features
- High quality SUS304 stainless steel panel and SUS304 stainless steel keys
- 3mm aluminum alloy base plate
- Support for the keyboard layout of various countries
- Customizable function key or key combination
- Key size 14*14*4.5/28*14*4.5/100*14*4.5mm with key stroke 1.5mm
- Key force 1.2N+/-0.1N contact force
- Operating voltage 5V±5% with operating current <100mA

Manufacturing Process
- Sheet metal blanking of the compact SUS304 panel
- CNC machining of the 14*14, 28*14 and 100*14 key apertures
- Panel brushing and passivation
- Laser etching of country-specific legends
- Base plate fixing from bottom up and final wiring
Quality Control
- Key force sampling at 1.2N+/-0.1N contact force
- Key stroke verification at 1.5mm
- Layout audit against the approved country key map
- Current draw confirmed under 100mA
Customisation Options
- Keyboard layout of various countries
- Customized function key or key combination
- Legend etching to customer artwork
- USB or PS/2 data port
- Panel outline adapted to the host fascia
How It Compares
| Keyboards at 2N or higher key force | A 1.2N+/-0.1N contact force is noticeably lighter over a full shift of data entry |
|---|---|
| Compact plastic keyboard | A SUS304 panel on a 3mm aluminum base plate does not flex or crack when the fascia is struck |
Use Guide
- Specify the country layout and any combination keys before tooling
- Install from bottom up as a base plate fixed assembly
- Supply 5V±5% and allow under 100mA
- Operate within -10℃~45℃ and store within -30℃~85℃
