Four Channel Capacitive Touch Switch Module

• 4 Capacitive Touch detection circuits, each controls one high current DC output
• Senses touch through any non-conductive material like glass, plexiglass, tile, wood, plastic, drywall, etc.
• Can be set to act like a momentary contact push-button or toggle switch
• No moving parts to wear out or corrode over time – makes a very reliable alternative to mechanical switches
• Applications:
• Any job that needs a push-button or toggle switch
• Automotive or RV touch switches or panels
• Install a hidden switch behind any non-conductive surface
• Replacement of mechanical switches with reliable solid state Touch switches
• Hidden electric lock trigger for liquor, medicine, or gun cabinets
• Interactive exhibits or displays for museums, etc.
• Invisible silent alarm trigger - just place your hand on the counter over the hidden touch plate mounted under the counter to trigger a silent alarm
• Moisture sensor switches - this circuit can remotely detect the presence of moisture nearby, without having to come in direct contact with the moisture itself.
• Sensitivity is adjustable per channel to support a wide range of applications
• Housed in a sturdy ABS plastic enclosure with mounting flanges
• Create your own custom touch plates using any conductive material such as copper tape, copper clad board, or virtually any other conductive object
• Power supply requirements:
• 6V-30V DC
• Current capability sufficient to drive the total of all output loads
• Output Load drive characteristics:
• DC output voltage is equal to the power supply voltage
• 10 Amps max total output current, all channels combined
• Fuse protected
• Plastic Enclosure Specifications:
• Sturdy, Black, Flame Retardant ABS
• Flame Rating: UL94-5VA
• 2.5” x 2.5” x 0.9” in height (excluding mounting flanges)
• Two Mounting Flanges with .19” mounting holes
• For use in moisture free environments. Moisture on the touch sense surface will degrade touch sense performance
• Warranty: 1 year parts and labor
• OEMs and custom mods welcome
• Made in USA

The XCTS-4M allows you to install up to 4 capacitive touch switches nearly anywhere. It detects any sudden change in the capacitance on the ‘Touch Plates’ that results from human touch. The Touch Plates can be hidden behind any non-conductive overlay material like glass, Plexiglas, tile, wood, plastic, drywall, granite, etc. The output circuit will be actuated when that area of the overlay is touched. When touch is detected, it sources a DC voltage on the ‘Load’ output.
