Posted on: May 29th, 2025 by Kati Zumwalt

Today’s industrial and vehicle applications demand durable, flexible, and high-performance control solutions. The SK51 CAN Keypad is designed to meet these challenges head-on, offering a rugged, fully-sealed keypad built for reliable performance even in the harshest environments.

Engineered for Extreme Conditions
The SK51 CAN Keypad thrives in challenging environments, boasting an impressive operating voltage range of 6 to 35v DC and a temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Whether you’re working in blistering heat, freezing cold, or somewhere in between, the SK51 is built to keep your equipment running smoothly.

Built to Withstand the Elements

Dust, water, and vibrations are daily realities in many applications. That’s why the SK51 is sealed to IP65 and, when panel-mounted with its integrated gasket, to IP67, ensuring reliable operation even under direct exposure to the elements. Its rugged construction makes it ideal for use in off-highway vehicles, agricultural machinery, marine systems, industrial equipment, and more.

The SK51 supports baud rates up to 1Mb, ensuring rapid data transfer across your CAN networks. It comes standard with J1939 CAN bus but can be easily configured to support CAN FD and CANopen, providing the flexibility to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of systems.

Developer-Friendly and Fully Programmable 
Development teams will appreciate the SK51’s programming support for both C and Python. A base project is available in both languages, making it easier than ever to customize the keypad to unique application needs. 

Ready for Your Application
Whether you’re retrofitting existing systems or designing something entirely new, the SK51 CAN Keypad is ready to become a key part of your control strategy. With its combination of rugged durability, versatile communication options, and developer-friendly tools, the SK51 is the smart choice for forward-thinking engineers and OEMs.
