Sensory switch with capacitive technology
Molex
Capacitive sensing technology uses an electrical field to detect the presence of a human finger or other conducting object as switch activation. When a conductive object enters the field, the switch recognizes a change in the capacitance indicating an actuation. Molex engineers address many issues, including multiple key presses, water, dirt, contaminants and EMI. Molex's ability to seal a capacitive switch design is ideal for resistance to harsh chemicals and demanding environments.
Molex capacitive designs incorporate and combine multiple switch formats and layouts. Available options include discrete switches, slide switches, rotary wheels and combinations of tactile and not tactile products. Haptic, or tactile vibration, feedback and proximity sensing are additional options provided for integrated designs. Interfaces can be built on printed circuit boards, polyimide or polyester circuits for direct contact with curved surfaces. Molex's unique backlighting concepts can be combined for seamless, innovative designs. Capacitive overlays allow for easy cleaning, are available in a variety of cosmetic options, and are available in a wide variety of overlay options such as glass, polycarbonate, polyester, leather, wood, or acrylic - virtually any non-conductive material.
