Capacitive touch meets compact size in new LED sensor series

Visual Communications Company (VCC) has recently launched the CSM Series surface mount capacitive touch LED sensor, which claims to have the smallest footprint in the industry. The CSM Series Capacitive Touch Sensor Displays are unique as they measure only 15mm x 15mm x 3.2mm and can be surface-mounted or reverse-mounted to save further space on the device. These compact, yet high-output LED sensor displays can be used in a wide range of applications, including home automation, medical devices and mobile communication devices, as well as portable instruments. Available in green, yellow, red, blue and white, the series enables an intuitive and fast user interface — one that furthers reaction times and improves safety by using icons instead of text. “Due to its small size and surface- or reverse-mount options, the CSM Series really opens up design possibilities in a wide range of applications,” said Sannah Vinding, director of product development and marketing at VCC. “Whether manufacturers are looking for a sleeker interface to satisfy customer demands or are working within size constraints, the CSM Series provides all the advantages of LED and touch technology, with the added design freedom of a smaller sensor.”
