The IFM KT5150 is an illuminated capacitive touch sensor featuring latching or bistable operation for industrial machine controls. Its M22 panel-mount design provides convenient touch activation with integrated visual feedback. The sensor uses a PA housing and 2 m PUR cable for practical industrial installation. It is suitable for machine interfaces where the switching state needs to remain selected until the next touch operation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KT5150 combines capacitive touch detection with integrated illumination and bistable switching functionality. Its M22 design allows installation into suitable machine control panels, while the illuminated surface provides clear operator feedback. The latching principle is useful for applications where a touch action changes and maintains the switching state. This makes the sensor suitable for modern machine interfaces and automation controls.
The sensor supports convenient touch operation for industrial functions that require maintained switching. Its 2 m PUR cable provides useful wiring flexibility, while the PA housing offers a compact panel-mounted solution. High ingress protection supports demanding environments where dust, moisture and cleaning exposure may occur. The integrated illumination further improves operator awareness during machine operation.
The KT5150 provides touch-based latching control without conventional mechanical button movement. Its illuminated M22 design offers clear operator interaction while maintaining a compact panel footprint. The bistable switching principle is useful for ON/OFF-type functions, while the industrial housing and cable configuration support machine integration. It is a practical choice for modern automation and equipment control panels.
