A capacitive touch pad on a small red board, built around the TTP223 chip. Touch the printed pad and the output goes high; lift off and it goes low - no moving parts to wear out and nothing to press. It runs on anything from 2 to 5.5V, drops into a low-power state after about twelve seconds with no touch, and senses through a thin non-metal cover, so you can hide it behind acrylic or a plastic panel and end up with a sealed, wipe-clean control surface.

Key features

  • TTP223 capacitive touch IC
  • 2 - 5.5V supply
  • Momentary output - high while touched
  • Senses through thin plastic or glass
  • Drops to low-power mode after about 12 s idle
  • 3 pins: signal, VCC, GND
