Abstract
The present remote control key includes a hollow head comprised of two separable halves. A T-shaped metal socket is attached to the head. A transverse member of the socket is secured inside the head, and a longitudinal member of the socket extends outwardly through a hole at the base of the head. A proximal end of a metal shaft is inserted into a slot in the longitudinal member of the socket. The shaft is secured in the socket by a pin staked through the longitudinal member of the socket and positioned along a channel at the proximal end of the shaft. Remote control electronic components are arranged on a first circuit board inside the head, and a printed antenna is arranged on a second circuit board stacked with and electrically connected to the first circuit board.

A mechanical and remote control key, comprising:
- a hollow head comprising two separable halves;
- a generally T-shaped metal socket attached to said head, said socket comprising a transverse member secured inside said head, a longitudinal member extending outwardly through a hole at a base of said head, and a slot extending longitudinally into said longitudinal member;
- a metal shaft for operating a mechanical lock, said shaft including a proximal end removably inserted into said slot in said longitudinal member of said socket;
- and
- remote control components arranged on a circuit board received inside said head for operating a remote control lock.
