Rutronik
For a switchless look
The Capacitive Hidden Switch (CHS) from Schurter works without mounting holes in the user interface and can therefore be installed inconspicuously.
The sensor from Schurter (available from Rutronik) is particularly suitable for devices with high hygiene standards, such as in the medical or food industry. It also opens up new possibilities in the design of user interfaces. The capacitive switch triggers without direct sensor contact with the finger. It uses an electrical field on the user surface of the sensor. As soon as a change occurs there, the sensor reacts. It is also possible to use non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic or wood between the sensor and the surface. The sensor is attached behind the surface using transfer adhesive tape. This means that no drill holes or slots are required. There are also no moving parts. Bacteria, viruses or fungi can therefore hardly settle on the user surface.
