How It Compares
| Plastic 16 key module | Etched SUS304 keeps legends readable after years of fingertip wear that removes printed plastic markings |
|---|---|
| Full metal keyboard | A 16 key field needs far less fascia area when only codes or selections are entered |
| Touch keypad | Mechanical keys with 3N ± 10% strength give physical feedback for gloved or cold-weather users |

- Supply 5V±5% and allow for working current under 150mA
- Send key legend artwork before production so etching is included
- Operate within -10℃~45℃ and store within -30℃~85℃
- Clean along the brush grain to avoid cross scratches
