Capacitive keypads and switches use individual sensors that form electric fields and act like a capacitor plate. This field penetrates a variety of materials; the most commonly used is glass. When a user touches the field, he causes a signal to be triggered. In addition to buttons, it is possible to integrate a capacitive touchpad.

Features:

Available as illuminated or non-illuminated version
Can be operated by light touch.
Pushbutton works wear-free, as there are no moving parts.
Function control by means of integrated microcontroller.
Switching output characteristics is adjustable by firmware.
Maximum front glass thickness is 6 mm glass or 3 mm plastic screen.
Flat design.
Two different output types can be provided by means of variable components between
- default: potential-free contact.
- on request: Open Collector
CE-conform according to EN 50581:2013
Cable included

Additionally for the illuminated button:

The button-light is dimmed in standby mode
The active mode is indicated by changing the lighting brightness
RGB-LED lighting color is adjustable by firmware

Installation instructions:

Remove protective paper
Clean and degrease adhesive surface with isopropanol
Bring the surfaces to be bonded together and bond without bubbles

Application areas:

Equipment and apparatus engineering for all applications.
Aerospace.
Industry production facilities.
Medical Areas.
Embedded Systems.

Advantages of capacitive switches:

Excellent resistance to water dust.
Good haptics for the individual switches.
Almost unlimited design possibilities.

Technology:

Surface coating is possible.
Implementation as a single switch, keypad, or keyboard in full layout.
Supplementary additional features such as lighting or operating feedback as an acoustic signal or local vibration.
Attractive additional features possible: illumination or multi-color.
Protected by integration on the back and therefore almost wear-free
