Touchless switches activate without touching

04/11/2022

The COVID 19 pandemic has given a boost to a technology that was previously known only to insiders in specialized applications: touchless switches. This sounds confusing at first. We are used to pushing buttons. We usually hear or feel a solid click and immediately know: Well, my input has been accepted successfully. This is what we call tactile feedback in the case of pushbuttons.Other switch technologies such as capacitive or piezoelectric systems provide optical feedback via a point or a ring illumination. The touchless switches do the same: feedback via illumination change.

Main Features

  • Touchless momentary push button (MO¹) or as latching switch (LA)
  • Protection against unintended switching
  • Precise operating
  • Potential free output contacts
  • Laser lettering possible
  • Vandal resistant
