Cap Touch click is a capacitive touch sensing button, integrated on a click board™. It can be activated by touch. This click can sense touch even through plastic, wood, or other dielectric materials, which can be used to protect the surface of the PCB and the sensor pad trace itself. Unlike the mechanical button, the capacitive touch button lasts much longer, it is not prone to damage and wear over time and it is very reliable.
Capacitive buttons are a very popular method of powering up various devices. Besides the aforementioned benefits, having a touch sensitive button on a device allows for a compact design, opens possibilities for various kinds of human-machine interface and - it looks good and modern, especially if accompanied by a LED that turns on when activated, just like the one on Cap Touch click. Cap Touch click can find its place among many applications - for touch activated lighting controls, touch activated control panels, toys and any other applications that need a switch or a button.
