Capacitive Touch Anti-Vandal Pushbuttons released by New Yorker Electronics

NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics has announced its release of the new TH Series of Switches from CIT Relay & Switch. The TH Capacitive Touch Anti-Vandal switch is offered in 16mm, 19mm, 22mm or 25mm and is available with 30-Second Hold, Momentary Switch or a Latching Switch mounting options.

CIT’s TH Series Capacitive Switch is available with a flush illuminated actuator with two ring size options, each with a brushed stainless steel finish. LED color and state options include single or dual LED with LED voltage choices of 5VDC, 12VDC or 24VDC and max current of 15mA. The standard UL1430 22AWG wire length is 30cm, but custom lengths are available from New Yorker Electronics.

A touch-controlled capacitive switch operates by measuring change in capacitance when depressed. When touched, the electrical charge disrupts the switch's own electrical charge, causing a change in capacitance. The CIT Relay & Switch capacitive touch TH Series is ideally suited for use in vending machines, gated community guard houses, traffic controls, industrial controls, appliances, infotainment centers and more.

The TH’s actuator is made of stainless steel with a Polycarbonate (PC) LED Lens.
