Keyestudio EASY Plug Capacitive Touch Sensor for Arduino starter STEAM

The Keyestudio EASY Plug Capacitive Touch Sensor is a sleek, modern alternative to traditional mechanical buttons for your Arduino projects. Ideal for students, educators, and makers, this digital sensor uses capacitive sensing technology to detect touch through direct contact or thin barriers.

Modern capacitive touch technology

This sensor replaces traditional mechanical buttons with a modern, one-touch style switch for your Arduino projects. It utilises the same capacitive sensing technology found in mobile phones to detect human or metal contact.

Detection through barriers

The sensor is capable of detecting touch even when isolated by thin materials such as cloth or paper. The sensitivity of the sensor will decrease as the thickness of the isolating barrier increases.

Digital voltage feedback

When a touch is detected, the module outputs a clear high or low voltage level back to your microcontroller. This digital feedback makes it easy to program simple on/off states in your code.

Easy plug system integration

This module is designed with a dedicated EASY plug connector for quick, solderless, and error-free wiring. It must be used together with a compatible EASY plug control board.

Technical specifications

The sensor operates on a supply voltage ranging from 3.3V to 5V, making it highly versatile for different development platforms. It is designed to function reliably in environments ranging from 0 to 100 degrees Celsius.
