The capacitive single button CAPKS01 can be considered as an alternative or
Replacement for a mechanical switch. It works on the capacitive principle of action and can be mounted behind glass and other materials with a thickness of up to 6mm/ 0.23 inch. After a feasibility check the mounting of the button is also possible behind stronger fronts.

It is ideal for use in hygienically demanding environments in hazardous areas
or vandal-prone environment.

The CAPKS01 has optional a blue LED that indicates the switching status.
It can be run as buttons, switches or proximity sensor and is therefore suitable
for versatile applications.

Possible applications:

• as a replacement for mechanical pushbuttons / switches
• in hygienically demanding environments
  (for example, medicine, food industry, ...)
• in vandal-prone areas

Advantages:

• Operation is possible by light touch without pressure
  for example with glass
• no moving parts, no mechanical wear
• closed front, easy to clean
• resistant to chemicals, pollution, vandalism
