Product Overview
KY2026 is the smallest side keypad in the range, with a 98*26mm visible face on a 115*26mm overall body. It gives a self-service terminal a row of stainless steel function keys beside the display while taking almost no bezel height. Connection is by pin interface directly to a KEYU EPP.

- Direct pin connection to a KEYU EPP, avoiding a separate keypad controller
- Over 2 million operations per key for machines used all day
- 1.5mm key trip preserves tactile feedback in a compact keypad
- Customized layouts for the exact number of menu keys you need

How It Compares
| KY2027E side keypad | KY2026 has a shorter 98mm visible face with a 115mm overall body, where KY2027E is flush at 116*27mm front and overall. |
|---|---|
| KY2040H side keypad | KY2026 is 26mm high against 40mm, for fascias with very little room beside the screen. |
| Touch screen soft keys | Physical stainless keys stay usable in rain and glare, where soft keys on an outdoor screen can be hard to hit. |
Use Guide
- Design the bezel aperture around the 98*26mm visible face
- Allow for the 115*26mm overall body behind the fascia
- Verify the pin mapping to your KEYU EPP before build
- Lock the key symbol artwork before etching
