Available with diameter 16, 19, 22 or 25 mm bushing, CP series sensory switches are extremely easy to use and ideal for repetitive applications (no operating force). Their IK10 robustness and unlimited life are perfect for self-service applications.
16mm Capacitive Switch
LANGIR's CP Series Capacitive buttons utilize advanced technology that senses the touch of a finger and creates an electrical charge to activate the button. Equipped with an auto-calibration function, the sensors adapt to changing external environments for consistent performance.
Our capacitive buttons are designed for durability and require low activation force, making them as sensitive as a touch screen. These features make our capacitive buttons ideal for industrial applications where repetitive activation can cause operator fatigue. Choose LANGIR for reliable and high-quality capacitive buttons that improve user experience and productivity.

FAQs
1. What are capacitive buttons?
Capacitive buttons are touch-sensitive buttons that utilize the principle of capacitance to detect the presence and location of a user’s touch. They are commonly found in electronic devices and provide a sleek and responsive user interface.
2. How do capacitive buttons work?
Capacitive buttons consist of a capacitive touch sensor and an underlying circuit. When a user touches the button’s surface, it creates a change in the electrical field, which is detected by the touch sensor. The sensor then sends signals to the circuit, triggering the desired action or function.
3. What are the advantages of capacitive buttons over traditional mechanical buttons?
Capacitive buttons offer several advantages, including:
- Durability: Capacitive buttons have no moving parts, making them more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
- Easy to clean: Since capacitive buttons are flat and seamless, they are easy to clean and maintain.
- Sleek design: Capacitive buttons provide a modern and minimalist design aesthetic, contributing to the overall appearance of electronic devices.
- Multitouch capabilities: Capacitive buttons can support multiple touch points simultaneously, enabling gestures such as pinch-to-zoom or swipe actions.
4. Can capacitive switches be used in outdoor environments?
Yes, capacitive switches can be designed to withstand outdoor environments. They can be made resistant to water, dust, and other environmental factors, ensuring their reliable operation even in challenging conditions.
5. Can capacitive buttons work with gloves or styluses?
Some capacitive buttons are designed to be compatible with gloves or styluses. However, this depends on the sensitivity and design of the specific capacitive touch sensor. In general, capacitive switches are more responsive to touch from bare skin, but there are specialized touch sensors that can detect input from gloves or styluses with different levels of effectiveness.
