Vandal-proof keypad

Lorlin Electronics has introduced the KP range of vandal-proof metal keypads.

The pads may be specified with 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 or 16 buttons and are for front or rear mounting onto a flat surface. The keys are backlit by LEDs with a choice of blue, red, green, white and yellow and have a large clear type style on the button faces.

There is a choice of casing and button colours. Low-profile mounting bezels are available that can be attached from the rear of the control panel ensuring mounting screws cannot be accessed by vandals.

The keypads are made from powder-coated, die-cast zinc, with an anti-pull key design and are IP rated for weather, water and dust resistance. The switch contacts are rated at 24 VDC at 20 mA. Electrical connection is to 2.5 mm pitch PCB terminals and a suitable cable connector and the keypad is RoHS and CE compliant.
