A keypad assembly (20) is described that includes a housing (100) and a
keypad (200) connecting with the housing. The housing has a keyhole area
(144) formed thereon, and the housing has at least one keyhole (146)
defined therein and a groove (148) is placed along a periphery of the
keyhole area. The keypad has a key area (201) formed thereon, and the key
area has at least one key (202) formed thereon and a projection (204)
placed therearound to engage in the groove. A main advantage of the
keypad assembly is that it can simplify the configuration of the seal
while maintaining a good seal, and it also can reduce the production
cost.
