A slim capacitive touch switch for LED strips rather than a signal sensor for an Arduino: power in one end, strip out the other, and the module switches it. The steel spring on top is the sense antenna - press it against an aluminium profile or a cabinet door and the whole surface becomes the touch pad. Solder pads pick plain on/off or touch-and-hold dimming, and at 40 x 10 mm it drops inside a standard LED channel.

Key features

  • Switches the LED strip directly - no microcontroller needed
  • Spring antenna makes a whole metal surface touch-sensitive
  • Solder pads select on/off or touch-and-hold dimming
  • Up to 3 A / 30 W load
  • 40 x 10 x 1.2 mm - fits inside a 10 mm LED channel
  • About 10 mA standby
