Illuminated, capacitive touch switches with revolutionary design

These illuminated, capacitive touch switches, are a revolutionary design, say RS Components, eliminating the need for panel cut-outs and the worry of ingress protection. When using these switches all you need to factor in when designing the panel lay out, is the position and the size of switches you require. Any glass, clear acrylic, plastic or similar panel sheet can be printed with your required design and these units simply stick to the back. The switch works through the panel giving full RGB illumination with an unmatched uniformity of illumination. As it works through the panel, there is no need for any panel cut-outs. There are several benefits to this, more than just not worrying about O-Rings and mounting nuts. When the front panel is sealed to the rest of the enclosure you are left with a smooth surface that is easily cleaned. They are ideal for medical applications and as long as the panel is sealed to the rest of the enclosure, then ingress protection is no longer an issue. These devices also feature an extremely low profile making them ideal for use in portable devices. They work off a wide voltage range of 6V DC to 28V DC making them compatible with most panel circuits. A pre-wired cable is available separately for quick connection. These switches can be used in a large variety of applications from marine monitoring equipment, medical equipment, defence systems, safety and alarm panels all the way to professional audio and broadcast equipment and even agriculture, building services and automation plus many more. If a panel requires switches and you want illumination with a clean, smooth, professional finish then these switches are ideal.
