Capacitive switches have emerged as a popular user interface style, replacing traditional membrane switches, elastomers, and full travel keyboards as the primary input method on many product designs. Capacitive switch sensors are chosen for the thin, non-mechanical designs that can be applied to curved surfaces and mounted behind glass or decorated plastic. Depending on your application requirements, these sensors can also be backlit to provide a cost-effective modern design. Boyd offers a variety of printed capacitive sensors that can integrate with commonly available microcontrollers to provide capacitive touch sensing.
