Capacitive sensors work by detecting the change of capacitance introduced by the finger touching near the electrode. Such change is so small that detecting it unambiguously is challenging, and has ...

EBE sensors + motion presents the new TCRC sensors, a groundbreaking solution for capacitive touch sensors that function ...

The way they work is ingenious. Layers of silicone are sandwiched between two lengths of silver-plated conductive fabric forming — by some approximation — a capacitance sensor.

Even with these limitations, capacitive touch sensors work well for many consumer applications. However, some situations involve more stringent requirements.

Capacitive RH sensors work best from 5 to 95% RH with an overall accuracy of ±2%. The response time is usually 30 to 60 sec for a 63% RH step change.

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options.
