Material & Panel Finish
- Choose 304 or 316 stainless steel (1.5–3.0 mm) for maximum vandal resistance, or zinc alloy die-cast housings for cost-effective durability.
- Specify brushed, polished, or bead-blasted finishes; optional black epoxy coating for low-visibility installations.
- Panel dimensions from compact 80×120 mm PIN pads to 200×150 mm multi-function keypads with Enter/Cancel/Clear keys.
Key Layout & Tactile Feel
- Standard 12-key telephone layout (0–9, *, #) with tactilely distinct “5” key marker for blind usability per ADA requirements.
- Add function keys (Enter, Clear, Cancel) with raised symbols: circle for Enter, left arrow for Clear, “X” for Cancel.
- Select actuation force from 250–400 gf (typical 300 gf for ATMs) with 0.3–0.6 mm travel for confident PIN entry.
Legend Marking & Branding
- Fiber laser engraving creates permanent black or contrast legends on stainless steel; depth 0.02–0.05 mm balances readability and cleanability.
- Add your bank logo, custom color fills (epoxy or UV ink), and security warnings (“Shield Your PIN”) for brand alignment and user guidance.
- Optional backlit keys with green/red LEDs for low-light visibility and status indication (e.g., transaction in progress).
Interface & Connectivity
- Choose USB (HID), PS/2, RS232 serial, or Wiegand 26/34 interfaces based on your ATM controller’s requirements.
- Specify connector type: ZIF/FPC tail, pin header, crimp harness, or flying leads with Molex/JST connectors.
- For encrypting PIN pads (EPP), integrate secure modules with 3DES/AES encryption and tamper-detection self-destruction.
Accessibility & Compliance
- Add Braille instructions for initiating speech mode per ADA §707.8; raised tactile borders around function keys for blind users.
- Integrate 3.5mm audio jack or telephone-style handset for speech-output navigation covering all transaction prompts.
- Ensure 5 lbf (≈2.3 kgf) maximum activation force per ADA §309.4 for one-hand operation without tight grasping.
Keypado Applications
Why Keypado is Your Go-to Choice
Vandal-Resistant by Design
Our custom ATM keypads are fabricated from 1.5–3.0 mm 304/316 stainless steel or die-cast zinc alloy housings. Solid metal construction resists impact, drilling, and prying attempts common in unattended ATMs. Laser-cut panels maintain ±0.05 mm tolerances for precise fitment into your enclosure. Epoxy-potted or compression-sealed assemblies achieve IP65–IP67 ratings, protecting internal electronics from dust, rain, and hose-down cleaning.
Permanent, Legible Legends
Fiber laser engraving penetrates 0.02–0.05 mm into the metal surface to create permanent legends that won’t fade, peel, or wear off. Unlike printed overlays, laser-etched text remains legible after thousands of cleaning cycles with alcohol or industrial detergents. Optional epoxy or UV ink fill enhances contrast for low-light environments; green/red backlighting provides visual status feedback during transactions.
Optimized for Secure PIN Entry
Standard 12-key telephone layout includes a tactilely distinct “5” key marker per ADA requirements, enabling blind users to orient their fingers accurately. Actuation forces from 250–400 gf (typical 300 gf) balance tactile feedback with fatigue-free typing during repeated transactions. Function keys (Enter, Clear, Cancel) feature raised symbols: circle, left arrow, and “X” for intuitive operation without visual confirmation.
Plug-and-Play Integration
Every keypad ships with your specified interface—USB (HID), PS/2, RS232, or Wiegand 26/34—pre-configured for immediate compatibility with your ATM controller. Connector options include ZIF/FPC tails, pin headers, crimp harnesses, or flying leads with Molex/JST terminals. For encrypting PIN pads (EPP), we integrate secure modules with 3DES/AES encryption and tamper-detection self-destruction per PCI PTS requirements.
From Your Spec to ATM-Ready Keypad in 5 Steps
Keypado’s streamlined OEM/ODM workflow ensures your custom ATM keypads are engineered, prototyped, and mass-produced to your exact specifications—with full documentation and traceability.
1. Requirement Capture & DFM Review
Share your ATM enclosure CAD, keypad layout, or functional spec. Our engineers review key positions, panel thickness, interface type (USB/PS2/RS232), and environmental targets (IP rating, vandal resistance). We lock artwork revision, circuit revision, and pin map before quoting to avoid downstream changes.
2. Material Selection & Stack-Up Design
We specify panel material (304/316 stainless or zinc alloy), thickness (1.5–3.0 mm), sealing method (epoxy potting or compression gasket), and dome type (metal snap domes). Total assembly thickness targets 5–10 mm depending on vandal-resistance and IP rating requirements. Operating temperature, UV resistance, and chemical exposure drive material choices.
3. Prototype & Validation
CNC-machined or laser-cut prototypes (5–50 units) are produced with your exact legends, key layout, and interface termination. We test actuation force, travel, IP sealing, and connector mating against your drawing. Revisions to legends, key positions, or tail routing are documented with controlled revision packages.
4. Mass Production & Quality Control
Once samples are approved, we scale to volume production with laser cutting, CNC punching, fiber laser marking, and automated dome assembly. Each batch undergoes 100% visual inspection, electrical continuity testing, and random IP65/IP67 immersion tests. Full traceability includes material certs, laser parameters, and production date.
5. Logistics & After-Sales Support
Keypads are packaged in anti-static bags with desiccant, then foam-lined boxes for global shipment. We provide installation guides, connector mating instructions, and bend-radius recommendations. For field issues, our engineering team supports root-cause analysis and rapid replacement.
FAQs
Prototypes take 7–12 business days after CAD approval; mass production runs require 4–5 weeks for quantities under 5,000 units. Lead times vary based on complexity (laser engraving, epoxy potting) and material availability. We offer expedited builds for urgent ATM deployments or replacements.
Yes. Provide your current keypad’s drawing, photos, or a physical sample. We reverse-engineer the panel thickness, dome type, tail length, connector type (USB/PS2/RS232), and pin map to ensure drop-in replacement. Controlled revision packages prevent mismatches during production.
Standard outdoor keypads achieve IP65 (dust-tight, water-jet resistant) and IP67 (1-meter immersion for 30 minutes). Epoxy-potted constructions provide additional protection against humidity and condensation in unattended enclosures. For harsh coastal or industrial environments, we recommend 316 stainless steel with enhanced sealing.
We use calibrated metal snap domes with ±10% actuation force tolerance and position them with ±0.1 mm accuracy. Each production batch is sampled and tested for trip force, travel, and snap ratio. The “5” key includes a distinct tactile marker (raised dot or different dome height) for blind orientation.
Absolutely. We integrate Braille instructions for initiating speech mode, raised tactile borders around function keys, and 3.5mm audio jacks for speech-output navigation. Key layouts follow ADA §707 standards with tactilely distinct “5” key and function-key symbols (circle, arrow, X).
Provide DXF, DWG, AI, or vector PDF files with key positions, legend text, and panel outline. If you lack drawings, we can reproduce existing keypads from samples or CAD files. Our engineering team can also create layouts from your brand guidelines and security requirements.
Yes. For PCI PTS-compliant ATMs, we integrate secure EPP modules with 3DES/AES encryption and tamper-detection self-destruction. These modules meet PCI PTS POI requirements for unattended payment terminals and can be customized with your bank’s branding and security warnings.
Standard stainless steel keypads operate from -20°C to +70°C. For extreme outdoor environments (direct sunlight, coastal salt spray), we use high-temp adhesives and conformal-coated PCBs rated for -40°C to +85°C continuous operation.
Yes. We integrate single- or multi-color LEDs beneath translucent key windows or dead-front icons. Specify brightness, viewing angle, voltage, and polarity; we design light guides to ensure even illumination without leakage. Green/red status LEDs indicate transaction progress or errors.
Yes. We supply material certifications (304/316 stainless), IP rating test reports, and accessibility conformance statements per ADA §707. For EPP integrations, we provide PCI PTS documentation and encryption module datasheets. Full traceability includes production date, material batch, and laser parameters.
