Utilising the piezoelectric effect, piezo keypads and switches have the advantage of no moving parts and complete sealing from the elements offering near indestructibility and >10 million operations for those extreme applications and environments.

We have a variety of off-the-shelf keys and keypads in various configurations.

Single key illuminated/non-illuminated in Latching/Toggle/ Continuous pressure configuration.

Front and rear mount 3×4/4×4/4×5/5×4 Alphanumeric keypads
