Capacitive vs Mechanical Switch: What’s the Difference?

Switches are the foundation on which electrical devices, including touchscreens, operate. In the most basic sense, a switch is a component that controls an electrical circuit. When the switch is turned on, the electrical circuit is closed and, thus, complete. When the switch is turned off, the electrical circuit is open and, thus, incomplete. While all switches perform this operation, though, there are different types of switches, including mechanical and capacitive.

What is a Capacitive Switch and How Does it Work?

A capacitive switch is a type of touch-controlled electrical switch that operates by measuring change in capacitance. It works in the same manner as a typical capacitive smartphone: when you touch the surface — assuming you aren’t wearing gloves — a small electrical charge is transferred from your body to the switch, which subsequently causes a change in capacitance. The switch detects this change, responding with the appropriate command.

What’s the difference between an Alternate action and a Momentary?

What’s the difference between an Alternate action and a Mometary?
The method that keeps the ON state of a switch only when its button is pressed and held is referred to as the “momentary” method, while the method that keeps the ON state of a switch even after the button is pressed and then released is referred to as the “alternate” method.

What’s the difference between a capacitive switch and a piezo switch?

If you have ever had to research switches or even select a switch for a piece of electronic equipment, the number of switch technologies available on the market today might be a little overwhelming. This blog post will focus on two switches that look very similar but function according to completely different electronic principles. The question is: just what is the difference between a piezo switch and a capacitive touch switch?
