ABSTRACT:
A pair of electrical contacts are provided on a lower surface of each key in a keypad assembly. When a key is depressed, the contacts are brought into electrical communication with a common conductive surface such that an electrical circuit is completed between a discrete pair of terminals. The arrangement, number, and configuration of keys can be changed without modifying the decoding logic and supporting circuitry of a keypad-operated instrument.
