Doorking Inc Ribbon Cable for 1895-016 and 1895-017 Keypads

The DoorKing ribbon cable is the interconnect for the 1895-016 and 1895-017 keypads. It is the cable that attaches the keypad to the board when you swap in a 1895-017 keypad replacement, so if you bought the bare keypad and the old cable is cracked or the conductors are torn at the fold, this is the piece you add to the order.

It is a separate line item. The ribbon cable is sold on its own as a parts-and-accessories item for the 1895-016 and 1895-017 keypads, so a gate tech or property manager doing the swap should add it to the same order rather than assume it ships with the keypad. There is one configuration only, so there is nothing to spec beyond quantity.

On the 1895-016 and 1895-017 keypads, the ribbon cable is the connection between the keypad and the board, and it is the part that fatigues where it bends. If whole rows or columns of digits drop out, or the keypad works when you press on the cable, replace the ribbon first. If individual keys are worn through or the faceplate is damaged, you need the keypad itself and this cable to go with it.

Yes. It is classified as a commercial electronic access control part, which is where DoorKing 1895 keypads normally live: gated multi-family entries, parking structures, and commercial yards. For an MRO or property maintenance stockroom running several DoorKing entries, it is a reasonable spare to keep on the shelf, since a failed ribbon looks exactly like a dead keypad in the field.
