The latest addition to Schurter's range of capacitive single switches is a compact device with a surface measurement of just 15 x 15mm The CSE 15 uG (capacitive switch element under glass) is a capacitive switch, actuated by proximity or the slightest touch of a finger

The sensitivity of the switches can be precisely set during the production process, allowing them be used at distances up to 20mm behind nonconductive materials such as glass, plastic, wood and ceramic.

The new devices also feature the option of a PCB mounting socket to reduce assembly costs.

A wide range of design options is available for the front panel, and Schurter can even provide fully customised design foil overlays.

Among the main advantages of the new capacitive switch: it is vandal resistant; it is not subject wear and tear; and it is unaffected by unfavourable conditions such as dust, dirt, damp and heat.

Applications include: ticketing terminals; self-service terminals in public areas; touch-sensitive exhibition displays; elevator systems; and POS terminals. Request a free brochure from Schurter Input Systems ...
