Capacitive Touch Switch

I purchased this touch switch for an unusual application. I need the touch sensitive area to be 1/4" wide x 4 feet long. So far, I have not been able to get it to operate per my requirements, but am still experimenting. With that said, I cannot speak highly enough about this device. It is exactly as described. It comes preassembled and the instructions are very detailed. This switch can be configured for a variety of operating modes which makes it very versatile. Also, I was amazed at the timely delivery. Upon placing my order, the anticipated lead time was about a week and a half which would have been fine. Much to my surprise, it arrived in two days from coast to coast. Even if I can't get this switch to operate for my intended purpose, it will be fun to use for other projects.

I am using this device to release a magnetic security lock on a hidden door/bookshelf. It activates an Elk relay that controls the lock. I hollowed out the 3/4" trim around the bookcase to a thickness of 1/4" and mounted the metal plate that comes with the unit in the cutout. It works perfectly and requires only a slight touch to activate. The instruction are very comprehensive so integration into any project should be a snap.

Woow Good start for my shaved auto doors. Received in incredible short time... and easy to assemble. I will provide more details of my use in the future...

excellent device, completely assembled, has sensitivity adjustment and works on 12vdc

Sensitivity module is temperamental

Great project ... Terry

Absolutely love this thing! I use it to control a strip of LEDs and it works flawlessly. I ended up purchasing a fully assembled one directly from their website because I was not confident in soldering everything myself ($8 more for an assembled one). The assembly and use instructions are clear and the craftsmanship seems top-notch.
