ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose keypad for an electronic apparatus includes a main panel formed of a moldable material and a plurality of functional operators formed integral with the main panel. The functional operators extend through openings in the apparatus housing and are selectively engageable with the apparatus printed circuit board (PCB). The integrated structure facilitates manufacturing and assembly of the keypad components and reduces manufacturing time and costs.
