This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Touch Sensors category on DigiKey.com
Touch sensors are more reliable and convenient with no moving parts. The two types are infrared which uses IR beams to detect when there is a touch and resistive that exhibits a decrease in resistance with an increase in force applied to the surface of the sensor. The output types are analog, I2C, and USB with a termination style of card edge/solder pad, connector, flex cable, solder tab, and tab.
SelectionCharacteristics
Sensor Type: The method of how the sensor detects the toch interaction.
Response Time: How long the device take to respond to input stimulus.
Output Type: Describes the method of how the device provides the output.
Termination Style: Describes the shape or standard configuration of a device’s electrical connection(s).
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits which one can expect standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and/or other system components.
