This phone-style 3×4 matrix keypad features 12 buttons (0–9, *, #) with telephone-layout lettering printed on the keys. It uses a matrix scanning arrangement requiring only 7 microcontroller pins (3 columns + 4 rows) to read all 12 keys.

The keypad comes with 7 or 8 header pins pre-soldered for easy breadboard use. Starting from the left, the first three pins are columns, followed by the four row pins. If an 8th pin is present, it is unused and can be left disconnected.
