Product Overview
A silicone rubber numeric key pad groups number keys in a molded interface for an electronic device. The arrangement should make repeated number entry straightforward, with legible digits and enough separation to distinguish neighboring controls. The number sequence and any accompanying function keys must match the intended device layout.
Check the physical sample at actual size. A digit printed too near an edge can become partly hidden by the enclosure opening, while a large key top may leave less room between controls than the drawing suggests. The zero key and any wider function key deserve a separate movement check rather than being assumed to behave like the smaller keys.
ETOL offers custom dimensions, hardness, color and marking, with conductive or non-conductive construction selected for the electronics. Evaluate the keypad using typical sequences of number entry as well as individual presses. Confirm that inputs release correctly between successive actions.
During fitting, align the molded layout without stretching the spaces between keys. Keep the underside clean and check operation after the front housing is secured. For replacement, preserve the original digit positions and function assignments as well as the exterior outline.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. The zero key and any wider function key deserve a separate movement check rather than being assumed to behave like the smaller keys.
- Custom dimensions
- ETOL offers custom dimensions, hardness, color and marking, with conductive or non-conductive construction selected for the electronics.
- Fit & assembly
- Keep the underside clean and check operation after the front housing is secured.
- Use & inspection
- For replacement, preserve the original digit positions and function assignments as well as the exterior outline.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
