4x3 Keypad Keyboards 3x4 Membrane Switches Matrix Keypad 12 Key Thin & Flexible With Cable Connector & Adhesive Back For Arduino

Punch in your secret key into this numeric matrix keypad. This keypad has 12 buttons, arranged in a telephone-line 3×4 grid. It’s made of a thin, flexible membrane material with an adhesive backing (just remove the paper) so you can attach it to nearly anything. The keys are connected into a matrix, so you only need 7 microcontroller pins (3-columns and 4-rows) to scan through the pad. Check the tutorials tab for links to an Arduino library and example code.

The 4×3 16 Key Membrane Switch Keypad is a low cost and lightweight keypad. It can be used as a human interface component for your projects. The convenient adhesive back provides a simple way to mount the keypad to any dry surface. The keypad features a total of 12 keys.
