KY3688H Metal EPP PCI 5.0 Encrypting Pin Pad

KY3688H is a metal encrypting pin pad (EPP) for attended and unattended payment points, certified to PCI 5.0 and carrying CE, ROHS, FCC, IP65 and IK7.

Product Overview

KY3688H is a metal encrypting pin pad (EPP) for attended and unattended payment points, certified to PCI 5.0 and carrying CE, ROHS, FCC, IP65 and IK7. It uses a physical 16 key layout with defined keys including braille and communicates over an RS232 serial port. The temperature range of -40°C ~ 105°C covers outdoor terminals in extreme climates.
  • PCI 5.0 certification with CE, ROHS, FCC, IP65 and IK7 shortens terminal approval work
  • 3DES, AES, SHA256 and RSA cover the algorithm sets acquirers ask for
  • Temperature range -40°C ~ 105°C lets one part serve cold and hot climates
  • MTBF above 42950 gives a documented reliability figure for tender responses
  • Remote key loading avoids sending technicians to each terminal
  • 87.5*91.5 mm footprint fits compact unattended fascias

Application Scenarios

  • Unattended fuel and parking payment terminals
  • ATM and cash machine pin entry
  • Attended retail payment positions
  • Transport ticket machines accepting cards
  • Outdoor vending with card payment in extreme climates

Who It Is For

  • Payment terminal and ATM manufacturers
  • Acquirer-facing kiosk integrators
  • Fuel forecourt equipment suppliers
  • Transport ticketing OEMs

Problems It Solves

  • Terminal approval stalls without a current PCI certified pin entry device
  • Field key loading is costly when it needs an engineer visit
  • Pin pads fail outside a narrow temperature band in outdoor cabinets
  • Accessibility rules require braille on the key layout

Technical Features

  • PIN entry technology physical keypad, class PED, evaluated online
  • Key number 16 covering Master Key, PIN Key, Mac Key and Data Key
  • Key management MK/SK with remote key loading
  • Algorithms 3DES, AES, SHA256, RSA to ISO9564-1 0 / 1 / 3 / 4, ANSI X9.8, ANSI X9.19, ECB, CBC
  • Operating voltage 5.0V ±10% with battery voltage 3.0V ±10%
  • ESD 8K and current <40mA
  • Material #304 with a defined layout including braille

Materials

  • #304 stainless steel
  • Tamper-responsive secure keypad module

Manufacturing Process

  1. Sheet-metal forming of the #304 panel to the 87.5*91.5 mm outline
  2. Panel brushing and key aperture punching
  3. Etching of the defined layout including braille
  4. Secure module assembly with tamper response
  5. IP65 sealing and impact reinforcement
  6. Remote key loading setup and security validation

Quality Control

  • Security behaviour tested against the PCI 5.0 certified configuration
  • ESD immunity verified to the 8K rating
  • Current draw checked below 40mA
  • Temperature cycling across the -40°C ~ 105°C range
  • RS232 communication validated against a host terminal

Approvals And Test Documentation

  • PCI 5.0
  • CE
  • ROHS
  • FCC
  • IP65
  • IK7

Customisation Options

  • Key layout defined with braille as required
  • Panel outline and fixing to match the terminal fascia
  • Key management and remote loading configured to the acquirer scheme
  • Cable and connector arrangement for the RS232 serial port
  • OEM and ODM builds from the KEYU factory in Shenzhen

How It Compares

PCI 1.3 pin padPCI 5.0 certification meets the newer scheme requirement where the older approval is no longer accepted
Indoor-rated pin padA -40°C ~ 105°C range and IP65 rating allow outdoor unattended deployment
Plastic EPPA #304 metal body with IK7 rating resists attack on unattended terminals

Use Guide

  1. Agree the MK/SK key scheme and remote loading process with your acquirer first
  2. Wire the RS232 serial port and supply 5.0V ±10% to the module
  3. Keep the backup battery at 3.0V ±10% so tamper detection stays active
  4. Preserve the IP65 seal when fitting to the terminal fascia
  5. Do not open the secure module as tamper response will trigger
