Description
Product Overview
The Cryfokt Capacitive Touch Switch Module is engineered for precision and durability, delivering a highly responsive touch interface that works across a broad range of materials. Constructed with a robust metal housing, the module resists wear and environmental factors while maintaining a sleek, low‑profile appearance. Its internal circuitry is optimized for low power consumption, allowing operation from 3 V up to 18 V DC, making it suitable for battery‑powered devices as well as mains‑connected installations. The module features three clearly labeled pads—IN for power input, GND for ground, and OUT for power output—simplifying wiring and integration into existing control systems.
Beyond basic touch detection, the module supports a bistable state, meaning a single tap can toggle the output between on and off without the need for continuous power to the sensor itself. This functionality reduces energy usage and extends the life of connected components. The sensor’s detection layer can sense through acrylic, glass, ceramic, and various plastics up to 6 mm thick, providing flexibility for designers who wish to embed the switch beneath decorative surfaces or protective covers.
Technical specifications include a compact package measuring 3.15 × 1.97 × 0.39 inches and weighing only 0.11 oz, making it ideal for space‑constrained applications. The module complies with industry standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring reliable performance in industrial, commercial, and consumer environments. Its design also accommodates external microcontroller units (MCUs), enabling developers to program custom response patterns, timing intervals, or integration with wireless communication modules.
With a best‑seller rank of #16 in the Capacitive Proximity Sensors category, this module has proven its popularity among engineers and hobbyists alike. The Cryfokt brand is recognized for delivering high‑quality sensor solutions, and this product continues that tradition with rigorous testing and quality assurance processes that guarantee consistent operation over thousands of activation cycles.

Usage
Designed for a wide array of applications, the module excels in smart lighting systems where users can turn LED strips on or off with a simple tap on a concealed surface. It is equally effective in industrial control panels, where operators need a reliable, non‑mechanical switch to activate machinery or safety interlocks. The bistable mode is particularly advantageous in battery‑operated devices such as portable lanterns or wearable electronics, as it eliminates the need for continuous sensor power to maintain the on state.
Installation is straightforward: connect the IN pin to a suitable voltage source, link GND to the system ground, and route the OUT pin to the load you wish to control. The module can be paired with external relays to drive higher‑current loads, such as motor starters or large LED arrays, expanding its utility beyond low‑power applications. Its compatibility with popular development platforms like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi enables rapid prototyping and integration into IoT projects, where touch‑based interaction can trigger cloud‑connected actions or trigger alerts.

FAQ
Can the sensor detect touch through a glass surface?
Yes, the module can reliably sense a finger touch through glass, acrylic, ceramic, or most plastics up to 6 mm thick, making it ideal for concealed or decorative installations.
What is the maximum load the OUT pin can drive directly?
The OUT pin is designed for low‑current loads such as LEDs or small relays. For higher‑current applications, connect the OUT pin to an external relay or MOSFET driver as recommended in the wiring guide.
Is the module compatible with popular microcontroller platforms?
Absolutely. The module’s simple three‑pin interface (IN, GND, OUT) works with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other MCU families, allowing you to program custom touch responses or integrate it into IoT projects.
How does the bistable mode differ from a standard touch switch?
In bistable mode, a single tap toggles the output state and the module retains that state without needing continuous power to the sensor, unlike momentary switches that require constant power to maintain the on condition.
What warranty and support are provided?
Each module comes with a 12‑month warranty covering manufacturing defects, and our technical support team is available to help with installation, programming, and troubleshooting.
