The 0.3 m cable arrangement is suitable for compact installations. The sensor can be used in machine panels, operator interfaces, production equipment and industrial control systems.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
KT5020 provides a compact capacitive touch interface for industrial control applications. It detects operator touch and converts the action into a switching response. This allows machine functions to be controlled without conventional mechanical button movement. The sensor is suitable for applications where convenient operator interaction and low mechanical wear are desirable.
Capacitive sensing provides reliable touch-based activation when correctly installed and configured. The technology is suitable for repetitive operator commands and can simplify control-panel design. The sensor can be used for start commands, selection functions and other machine-control inputs. Its touch interface provides a modern alternative to mechanical switches.
The 0.3 m cable provides a compact connection arrangement suitable for nearby control electronics. KT5020 can be integrated into industrial machine interfaces and control panels. The sensor can provide a switching signal to suitable automation equipment. Its compact design supports practical installation in space-constrained applications.
KT5020 is suitable for machine-control panels, industrial equipment, automated production systems and operator interfaces. It can provide touch-based commands for machine functions and process operations. The sensor's non-mechanical touch principle supports repeated operation and can reduce wear compared with conventional pushbuttons.
