AK-170 iKey Keyboard

Designed for integration into wearable technology, the AK-170 is a ruggedized alphanumeric keypad built for exceptional EMI performance.

This 17-key, ultra-compact keypad utilizes sequential key presses to access both alphabetic and numeric characters – similar to the texting on a cell phone. In addition, it includes an integrated Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) pointing device and multiple levels of backlighting that are available in almost any LED colour, including NVIS Green B. Built for use in harsh areas, the AK-170 is sealed to NEMA 4X specifications and is designed to meet MIL-STD-461E requirements for radiated susceptibility.
