Capacitive switch

Simply interact with a running system - Capacitiv switch

Capacitive keypads and switches utilise individual sensors that generate electric fields, functioning like capacitor plates. These fields penetrate various materials, with glass being the most commonly used. When a user makes contact with the field, the capacitance shifts, triggering a signal. Beyond buttons, this technology also allows for the integration of a capacitive touchpad.

Unlike touchscreen systems, where controls are graphically displayed on a monitor, this technology features clearly defined, physically present buttons. We design and manufacture the electronics to meet any requirement – from backlit individual switches to fully customised keypads behind glass.

Technology of the capacitive switch

  • Surface coating possible
  • Implementation as 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

Advantages of capacitive switches

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