The NEMA 4 (IP66) sealing KI6800 Series hygienic keyboard is an "open frame" that is offered to Original Equipment Manufacturers. The innovative small footprint is the most compact size available with 69 keys providing 101/104 key functionality. The heavy duty PCB is layered with thick "hard gold" contacts and the white FDA silicone elastomer has molded "hard carbon" pill contacts that combined have been proven to provide more than 10 years of reliable, maintenance free, service. The white FDA silicone elastomer with its 2mm key travel provides excellent tactile feel, but most impressive is the impermeable molecular barrier sealing protection obtained from a Parylene C conformal coating process. This miniature hygienic keyboard repels infectious pathogens or carcinogenic compounds so that proper decontamination, sanitization, or sterilization procedures can easily remove. As an OEM of medical devices or cleanroom devices, this hygienic keyboard can be confidently designed into equipment with an assurance of high reliability and long term durability. Applications include managing infection control in healthcare facilities with usage as a medical keyboard, hospital keyboard, medical cart keyboard, surgical keyboard, or operating room (OR) keyboard. Or, managing exposure and/or contamination control in chemical, biological, or pharmaceutical research laboratories and other cleanroom facilities such as semiconductor, lithography, and manufacturing with a cleanroom keyboard.
