ID-AL SensoPad Touch-sensitive Button

The Senso PAD is a touch-sensitive button that allows the triggering, through a material, of playback files thanks to an input contact.

As an example the touch-sensitive button Senso PAD can play audio or video files of the players of the range ID-AL.
The Senso PAD is a proximity touch sensor that is not requiring a direct contact. Stuck onto an insulating surface, the presence of a finger is detected through the material (wood, glass or any insulating materials).

The reach of detection relies on the size of the electrode (that allows a detection up to 2 cm) and on the kind of support.
The SensoPad is an invisible touch-sensitive button onto wood and makes a glass surface become interactive.

Detection technology

• Touch sensor type: capacitive switch
• Compatible contact surfaces (dielectric material types): plastic, glass, stone, ceramic, composites, most kinds of wood, painted surfaces (low particle density metallic paints possible)
• Contact surface thickness: up to 12 mm glass or up to 6 mm plastic (depend of the additional sticker-electrode size)
• Full recalibration when detection more than ~60 seconds
