Standard Keypads Order RoHS Compliant OIT designs and manufacturers a variety of rugged keypad and rugged keyboard products for commercial, industrial and military applications. These include metal keypads, metal keyboards, rubber keypads and plastic keypads. All keypads can be ordered to be RoHS compliant. The products are designed to meet harsh environmental conditions such as ATM and kiosk applications and are very rugged to provide vandal protection and are NEMA 4 rated. A wide variety of key layouts and functions are available including L.E.D. backlighting with color combinations to suit specific customer requirements. Likewise, the electrical output can be customized, or standard X-Y matrix designs can be incorporated. Rugged keypads can be front or rear-mounted and the rubber booted “Seal-A-Key” design is a standard feature that can be used to hermetically seal the unit from environmental contamination. Seal-A-Key L.E.D. backlit designs commonly mount from the rear and form their own seal with the silicon rubber border. These rugged keypads use metal domes under the silicon rubber boot to provide excellent tactile feedback and electrical contact to the circuit board and are NEMA 4 rated. The economically-priced Thinseal product is a plastic molded bezel with two-shot molded keys. The key legends are through-molded and hence will never wear off. Thinseal designs are normally mounted from the rear through a customer’s panel. Here again, a metal dome provides excellent tactile feedback and electrical contact.

Kiosk Keyboards
The rugged qwerty keyboard with NAV switch is so well sealed it operates underwater! Order RoHS Compliant Kiosk keyboards are designed to withstand prolonged usage in severe public environments.
The rugged QWERTY kiosk keyboard and trackball is specifically designed for harsh environments and public usage. The product can be back-mounted, or adapted to stand-alone concepts. The kiosk keyboard uses a molded aluminum bezel and zinc keys. Key legends are molded into each key so they will not wear off with prolonged usage.
Weep holes in the kiosk keyboard are incorporated into the design to allow liquids to drain without damaging the unit. The internal portion of this rugged keyboard is sealed to the extent that it can be immersed and cleaned with liquids without damage. The trackball is sealed with a Teflon ring and sealed to Nema 4 in the static position.
The kiosk keyboard is offered standard with a USB-2 or PS/2 interface.

LITE Rugged Keyboards Order RoHS Compliant OIT has added a new line of Rugged keyboards. The metal keys have been replaced with POM keys. POM (acetal polyoxymethylene copolymer) is a very rugged combination of plastics with an additive for laser marking. These keys are available on our keyboards and keypads. The keys are installed blank and marked with one of our new lasers. We have completly eliminated inks and solvents by using this process. Custom keys are much quicker because it is just an artwork change. These keyboards are available with touchpad, NAV switch or trackball. The LITE keyboards have the same sealing (NEMA4/IP65) and ruggedness as our all metal versions. The legends go deep into the POM and will not wear off.
Products are designed using SolidWorks ® and Autocad ® computerized modeling tools and we have the capability to download and read a wide variety of design formats.
