Touch Switch

D5C

Unique 18-mm-dia. Capacitive Touch 
Switch with Choice of Three Actuators is 
Activated with Only a Very Slight 
Physical Contact

Only a slight activation force is required, enabling detecting micro 
deflections, thin wires, or thin-plate conductors (e.g., steel or 
stainless).
Application possible for non-conductors by indirectly connecting to 
ground.

Instantaneous operation upon contact with extremely limited 
hysteresis for high-precision position detection.

Diameter of only 18 mm with standard built-in amplifier, operation 
indicator, and sensitivity adjustment.

Conforms to IEC IP67 *

Freely replaceable antenna with screw mounting.

Free attachment to enable changing the antenna shape according to 
the application.

* Malfunction may occur if used in locations subject to water or oil.

Be sure to read Safety Precautions on page 6 t7 an
Safety Precautions for All Limit Switches.

Application Examples

Detection of Incorrectly Set Work

Press Position Confirmation

Detection of Bent Drills

Detection of Fine Wire or Thin Plate

Detection of Loose Screws

Detection of Loose Wires

Detection of End of Cloth or Paper

(Detected with indirect ground)

Detection of Seams in Cloth or Paper

(Detected with indirect ground)
