Product Overview

A silicone rubber numeric keypad gives a number entry interface a flexible molded surface. Its layout can be tailored to the available enclosure space, with custom dimensions, multiple colors and engraved or embossed details. The product information lists hardness choices from 20 to 80 Shore A, allowing the material choice to be considered alongside the key geometry.

For number entry, consistent spacing is useful because users often move through a sequence without looking at every key. Keep the relationship between the number rows deliberate, and distinguish any adjacent confirmation or correction control clearly. Increasing hardness alone will not define the operating feel; the thickness and shape of the moving rubber also matter.

Check a prototype in the intended front panel before settling on the layout. The openings should expose the whole usable key surface without touching its sides during a press. Confirm that the underside suits the selected switching method, which is not specified by the numeric arrangement itself. Clean visible recesses with care so trapped debris does not obstruct a key edge or obscure a small molded number.

Material options
Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
Hardness selection
Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Increasing hardness alone will not define the operating feel; the thickness and shape of the moving rubber also matter.

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.
