Product Overview
KY2117 is a compact 20 key stainless steel keypad backed by a 3mm aluminium panel for vandal resistance. Key labelling uses a laser procedure when the letters are black, while etching covers every other colour, so branding and multilingual legends are both possible. The layout can be customized for free and the unit ships with USB, PS/2 or RS232 output.
- A 3mm aluminium back panel stiffens the assembly against blows to the key face
- Free layout customization means the key field matches your software instead of the reverse
- Etching supports coloured legends where laser marking is limited to black
- Three interface options let one part number serve USB, PS/2 and RS232 hosts
- Compact 20 key layout fits fascias too small for a full keyboard
Application Scenarios
- Compact self service terminals with limited fascia area
- Access and function keypads on control equipment
- Serial connected machines requiring RS232 input
- Legacy terminals still using PS/2 ports
- Retail and service machines needing a short key set
Who It Is For
- Terminal OEMs working with tight panel real estate
- Integrators supporting mixed USB, PS/2 and RS232 installations
- Buyers needing coloured key legends
Problems It Solves
- Thin panels flex and fail when keys are struck hard
- Black only marking blocks colour coded key groups
- Standard keypads force software changes to fit their layout
- Fascias too small for full keyboards still need physical keys
Technical Features
- 20 buttons made of stainless steel in a compact layout
- 3mm aluminium back panel with vandal proof design
- Laser procedure for key labelling when letter colour is black
- Etching available for all legend colours
- Free layout customization

How It Compares
| Keypads without a rigid backing | The 3mm aluminium back panel resists deformation when the keys are struck |
|---|---|
| Laser only marked keypads | Etching adds colours beyond the black that laser marking produces |
| Single interface keypads | USB, PS/2 and RS232 are all available from the same model |
Use Guide
- Confirm the interface choice at order stage since the harness differs
- Send your key legend artwork for the free layout customization
- Allow panel depth for the 3mm aluminium back panel plus wiring
- Specify legend colour early so laser or etching can be selected
