AutomationDirect adds capacitive pushbutton sensor switches and indicators

June 16, 2020 By Mike Santora

captron-switches-300

Captron SENSORswitches are capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. The buttons have a determinate sensing distance, which may be altered by varying the approach speed and/or damping factor. A quickly approaching finger will achieve a higher sensing distance than a slowly approaching finger. A hand, […]
