The IFM KT5151 is an illuminated capacitive touch sensor with latching functionality for industrial machine and automation controls. It combines touch-sensitive operation with integrated visual illumination in an M22 panel-mount design. The 0.3 m PUR cable with M12 plug provides a compact connection arrangement. Its durable industrial construction makes it suitable for modern control panels requiring maintained touch-based switching.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KT5151 provides capacitive touch-based switching with a latching or bistable evaluation principle. The switching state can remain selected after activation, making it suitable for maintained machine functions. Its M22 mounting design supports panel integration, while integrated illumination provides clear visual feedback. The compact cable and connector arrangement is suitable for machine panels where accessible and organized wiring is preferred.
The sensor is designed for repeated industrial operator interaction where maintained switching is useful. Its 0.3 m PUR cable with M12 plug provides a compact electrical connection, while high ingress protection supports demanding control environments. The illuminated touch surface helps operators identify the control position and operating state. The compact design also supports efficient use of panel space.
The KT5151 combines illuminated capacitive touch sensing with bistable operation in a compact industrial sensor. It can simplify machine controls by providing a maintained touch-based switching function without mechanical button movement. Its M22 mounting, PUR cable and M12 plug support practical installation. The sensor is suitable for automation systems requiring intuitive operation, visual feedback and industrial durability.
