How It Compares
| Long-travel metal keyboard | 0.45mm travel allows a much thinner installed depth behind the fascia |
|---|---|
| Plastic keypad | Etched SUS304 keeps legends and finish through years of public contact |
| Large-key metal keypad | 14*14*1.5mm keys pack more functions into the same panel area |
Use Guide
- Check the rear clearance in your enclosure before finalising the cutout
- Send legend artwork early so etching runs with the panel batch
- Power the keypad from 5V±5% with under 150mA available
- Operate within -10℃~50℃
- Clean along the brush grain with a non-abrasive cloth
