mounting
Build a custom keyboard with identical button
distances no matter how you stack them.
Designed to plug into any printed circuit
board from
1
/16" to
1
/8" thick, modules stack
in any configuration, maintaining
11
/16" button
centers.
For Lightable Modules which will be continuously
lit, mixing ver tically mounted modules
with horizontally mounted modules is not
recommended; the orientation of the rectangular,
lighted area will differ. See drawings.
See Figure 1 Panel Cutout diagram for 6 button
module mounting dimensions. Refer to drawings
for other module dimensions.

light Source and lamp mounting
Each lightable button fits over a T-1 size LED or
incandescent lamp mounted to PC board (see
Figure 2-2a). The height of the lamp should not
exceed .250" (6,35 mm) from the surface of the
board. (Note: Grayhill does not manufacture or
sell LED's or incandescent lamps).
For easy light replacement, mount the lamp or
LED through the back or solder side of the board
(see Figure 2). This method of mounting allows
you to replace light source without removing
the keyboard module. The other method of
light mounting (Figure 2a) requires desoldering
the keyboard module then desoldering the
lamp when it's necessary to replace the light
source.
The chart below lists ratings for a size T-1
incandescent lamp. To extend the life of the lamp,
use an alternating current and reduced voltage.
The chart also lists maximum temperatures the
module can withstand. For higher temperatures,
Grayhill offers modules made of special plastics,
polyester switch housing and polycarbonate
internal button. All measurements were
determined under laboratory conditions.
(Mounted model continuously lit in temperature
controlled oven with continuously circulating air
for 24 hours.)

orientation oF moDuleS
A module, depending on circuitry, may not be
symmetrical. Rotating it 180° will result in a
different pin location. Please note the button
identification, the pin location for the desired
circuitry, and the direction of mounting. It
is important to use this information when
designing a printed circuit board layout and
when communicating with Grayhill. See Ordering
Information–Special Keyboard Modules on the
next page.
CirCuit DiagramS
The bottom view of the line drawings shows
number (A1, A2, etc.) next to the pin locations
of each switch section. These pin numbers
are directly related to the circuit diagrams.
For example, if the switch under Button A of a
standard module were SPST, the pins would
be located at the "#2" Position. If the module
were a lightable one with SPST circuitry, the
pins would be located at the "#1" Position. If
other locations are desired, specify them.
The coded circuits shown are suggested
possibilities and each button may carry a
different circuit. Location of active pins on each
button may be varied to conform with layout of
the printed circuit board. Up to a 7-bit code is
possible under each button.
Combinations of simple circuitries are also
possible as shown in the sample diagrams.

This drawing indicates the layout to be used for a 6 button module with light sources mounted
two ways: the lamps for the upper 3 buttons are mounted from the top or component side of the
board, and the lamps for the lower 3 buttons are mounted by the easy replacement method. (See
also Light Source and Lamp Mounting.) Light sources, when mounted from the top side of the
board, must be mounted before the keyboard modules; when mounted, lamp should extend no
more than .250" (6,35 mm) above the board.
