1 piece 3x4 matrix keypad module with 12 membrane keys designed for microcontroller input and user control panels. Compact and low profile, this keypad provides a simple, reliable way to add multikey input to Arduino and AVR based projects. Key benefits Simple expansion of digital inputs: a 3x4 matrix reduces required microcontroller pins while giving access to 12 distinct keys. Durable membrane construction: lowprofile keys resist dust and wear while keeping the module lightweight and compact. Straightforward integration: compatible with standard keypad scanning techniques used on Arduino and AVR microcontrollers, making wiring and firmware integration efficient. Improves user interaction: provides tactile numeric and function input for menus, settings, and control commands without needing a full keyboard. What it solves Saves I/O pins by using matrix wiring, enabling more complex interfaces on small microcontrollers. Delivers a spacesaving, lowcost input solution for projects that need multiple button inputs but limited physical space. Reduces development time through compatibility with common microcontroller scanning methods and example code patterns. Important attributes Configuration: 3x4 matrix, 12 keys.
