ADC Launch Project Manager_02 (AutomationDirect) asked a question.
June 2020 - Capacitive Pushbutton Sensor Switches and Indicators
We are pleased to introduce our new Captron SENSORswitches - capacitive pushbuttons which are activated without pressure, using a hand or other parts of the body. These capacitive pushbutton switches are easily installed via M8 connections, use touch control with no mechanical pressure required and offer visual touch feedback through LED signals.
- The switches are IP69K rated, and shock-resistant, vandal proof, and 100% water/oil-proof.
- Capacitive sensor switches are available in 22mm, 50mm and 60mm mounting diameters.
- Construction materials include plastic and stainless steel, aluminum or polycarbonate.
- Switch types include static, dynamic and toggle.
- Corresponding 22mm LED signal indicators are also IP69K rated and have a 20mm diameter illuminated area; green, red, yellow, white, orange, and magenta signal colors are available.
Great addition to our Pushbuttons / Switches / Indicators

Looks like a great product, especially in this COVID-19 enviroment.

Here is a post on this product.
Capacitive Pushbutton Sensor Switch and Indicator
Normal pushbuttons on a panel are usually a mechanical device. They can become "sticky" when too much dirt or oil is present. Capacitive pushbuttons do not have moving parts to stick so the life expectancy is increased. Disinfectant sprays can be applied directly to a capacitive pushbutton and left to dry so it can be more effective for the safety of your operators.
Captron pushbutton sensor switches use capacitive sensing to detect when a hand or body part nears the device surface; built-in or stand-alone indicators provide multi-color signalling options. The robust IP69K design provides wear-free operation, plus resistance to water, oil and harsh environments. These PNP NO DC-operated devices are available in 22mm, 50mm and 60mm mounting diameters. Construction materials include plastic and stainless steel, aluminum, or polycarbonate. Corresponding 22mm LED signal indicator lights are also IP69K rated and have a 20mm diameter illuminated area; green, red, yellow, white, orange, and magenta signal colors are available.
We will be wiring a 22mm captron pushbutton to a click plc. Upon activating the sensor for half a second an output on the click plc will turn on. The green LED on the captron will turn solid green. When the sensor is selected again, the output will turn off. The Green LED will then blink indicating that the output is off.
