Omron Electronics W7ED Series Touch Sensors offers engineers minimal development time since there is no need to perform sensitivity adjustments or design circuits. The touch electrodes and touch sensors can be fastened using screws facilitating touch sensor configurations without using a PCB. This product offers a longer lifecycle than mechanical switches and is much easier to design with than Touch Sensor IC's.
Features
Suitable for embedding in equipmentEnables touch sensor configurations to be created that suit your application. Touch electrodes and touch sensor electrodes can be fastened just using screwsBody-to-electrode static electricity transfers can be easily be prevented using FG terminal modelsSupports 5 to 15V
DC, with open-collector output
