How does a keypad or touchscreen connect? There are many different ways that keypads and touchscreens connect to a PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Often it is with a “tail” with circuit traces. This tail will have a connector or simply fit into a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connector. Sometimes keypads are mounted directly on a PCB or have a connector mounted directly on the back of the keypad with no tail. How long will a keypad last? Depending on the components used, the type of construction and the end use environment, keypads can last for ten or twenty years. The same is true for touchscreens. Can a keypad and a touchscreen be combined? Yes, we have many examples of keypads with touchscreens as one finished piece. How many layers will a keypad have? As few as two or as many as ten or more. How thick is a typical keypad? It can be as thin as 0.50mm (0.020”) to 7.5mm (0.30”) or more.
