  • How to use
    By connecting and fastening this electrode to a touch electrode (conductive material made from metal or with a metallic plating), a touch sensor configuration can be created with specifications that suit your application. The electrode features a hole that enables it to be fastened with a screw, etc.
  • FG terminals
    Static electricity from the human body, etc., is capable of entering the touch sensor via its electrode. When anti-static measures are required, select a model (W7ED-12F or W7ED-12L) with an FG terminal, which acts as a discharge circuit for static electricity. To enhance the anti-static effects of the FG terminal, we recommend connecting the FG terminal to a stable potential on the device’s frame ground using a thick, short wire.

Precautions for Correct Use

  • Use a touch electrode made of conductive metal or metal-plated material.
  • Make sure to insulate touch electrode and electrode of this product from external grounds.
  • The level of capacitance normally applied will depend on conditions such as the size of the touch electrode or the existence of metal around the touch electrode. Make sure to confirm that the touch sensor operates by applying human touch to the touch electrode with the touch electrode secured in place while in contact with the electrode of this product.
  • Avoid use in locations subject to direct contact with liquids such as water. Failure to do so will result in malfunction.
