How It Compares

KY3688C metal PCI EPPKY3688A is the larger 145*100 mm device certified to PCI 1.3, while KY3688C is 87.5*91.5 mm at PCI 3.0.
KY2160A metal encrypting pin padKY3688A is a certified PED class EPP with MK/SK key management and remote key loading rather than a general encrypting pin pad.
Smaller EPP modulesThe 145*100 mm face provides wider key spacing where accessibility drives the specification.

Use Guide

  1. Confirm PCI 1.3 is acceptable for your scheme before specifying
  2. Size the bay to the 145*100 mm device
  3. Provide an RS232 Serial Port and 5.0V ±10% supply
  4. Maintain the 3.0V ±10% battery as part of scheduled service
  5. Agree the remote key loading process with your key management host
