Keypad switches avoid accidental actuation
A line of miniature keypad switches is available with a raised center row
of keys to prevent accidental actuation. The pads come either with 12 or
16 keys or as a 12-key pad with an LCD. Designed for programming
controllers, timers, handheld instrumentation, and communications
equipment, the switch pads use conductive rubber contacts to increase
reliability. The housings and keys are made from 94V-0-compatible plastic
materials and are available in either decimal or matrix circuit codes. The
panels can be mounted in front of or behind the panel. (12 keys, $16
ea/500; 16 keys, $19.50 ea/500; 12 keys and LCD, $22.50 ea/500–stock to 8
weeks.) Augat Inc., Interconnection Products Div., Attleboro, MA Rick
