KY2140 Encrypted Digital Keypad With 17 Keys

KY2140 is an encrypted digital keypad with 17 keys, built as an embedded device for financial equipment, communication equipment and machinery that needs secure numeric entry.

Product Overview

KY2140 is an encrypted digital keypad with 17 keys, built as an embedded device for financial equipment, communication equipment and machinery that needs secure numeric entry. The panel and keys are wire drawn SUS304 stainless steel, laser etched when the characters are black. Its short 0.45mm key stroke suits fast repeated code entry at a terminal.
  • 17 key encrypted layout is aimed at secure code entry rather than general typing
  • Wire drawn SUS304 stainless steel panel and keys are anti-riot and anti-corrosion
  • Short 0.45mm key stroke supports fast repeated PIN and code entry
  • 2N+/-0.1N contact force is firm enough to resist accidental presses
  • Etched key content is made to customer requirements
  • Embedded format drops into existing self-service terminal panels

How It Compares

Standard numeric keypadKY2140 is an encrypted digital keyboard intended for financial and communication equipment rather than plain numeric input
Long travel metal keypadA 0.45mm key stroke returns faster for repeated code entry at a busy terminal

Use Guide

  1. Assemble from bottom to top into the host panel
  2. Supply 5V±5% and allow under 150mA
  3. Specify etched character content before production
  4. Operate within -10℃~45℃ and store within -30℃~85℃
