What is a Metal Panel Switch?

A metal panel switch (also widely known as ametal keypad, stainless steel keyboard, orindustrial metal keyboard ) is a high-performance input terminal engineered specifically for harsh industrial environments and public self-service equipment. Integrating rugged metal keys, integrated backlighting, and precision control circuitry, it delivers a reliable human-machine interface featuring durability, protection ratings, and flexible customization.

Structure

Designed with a multi-layer precision structure from outside to inside to ensure long service life and exceptional tactile response.

Metal Panel


Crafted from high-grade stainless steel or aluminum alloy with a precision-engineered separate key.  Supports brushed or sandblasted finishes, seamlessly integrating backlighting with robust vandal resistance to deliver superior industrial aesthetics and durability.

Circuit Layer


Flexibly compatible withPCB, FPC, or membrane switch matrixesfor stable, efficient signal transmission with customizable communication interfaces (USB, Matrix, RS232, etc.).
