Switches, Relays & Keypads


IP65 keypads and keyboards

25 January 2012 Switches, Relays & Keypads

The range of robust dust- and water-resistant keyboards and keypads from Kingleader are suitable for applications such as machine control, kiosks, information terminals and ATMs.

The keyboard or keypad is still the most commonly used method of entering information or requesting information in any computerised application. Where a keyboard is used in a harsh or exposed environment such as a factory floor or a shopping mall, they are exposed to rough treatment. The keyboard becomes not only a potential point of failure but also a security risk. A suitably robust keyboard or keypad is essential to ensure continued functioning of the equipment and protection of the system.

Kingleader keyboards and keypads are available in numerous formats with extras such as backlighting, touch pads and trackballs. Keytops can be laser engraved to suit the requirement of the application. Backlit keypads are ideal for applications such as access control where the keypad might be installed in a poorly lit passage or doorway. Laser engraved keytops can indicate functions such as ‘STOP’, ‘CLEAR’ or any other required function.
