Panel-mount keyboard FoilTronic®

with mechanical keyselectroniccompact

A combined control and display unit based on "Keypad" has been realized and has the following properties: extremely flat, compact design (total height: under 3 mm/ 0.12 inch !!!) integrated dust protection solution for display integrated cable connections to the transmitter of each function, in this way reduction of connectors free design of the layout and of the decorative film tactile surface, embossed shaft and writings integration of the following components for operation and display Control electronics: For demonstration, an electronic system was required, which shows the various functions and can be used by the integrated keypad. The menu navigation and text selection, as well as activation of the counting function of the 7-segment display occurs by a microcontroller circuit. Moreover, an inverter to control the EL films was integrated. Mounting studs on the bottom plate, battery power (mobile application).
