Capacitive Sensor | Touch Switch for Cabinet Lights | DC 12-24V 5A

This sensor switch adds automatic lighting to your furniture. It's a cabinet door sensor switch. It turns lights on when a door opens. It turns them off when it closes. The sensor works through non-metallic materials. This lets you hide the installation. It works with your DC 12-24V LED strips. Features and Benefits - Capacitive sensing technology - It detects the door's presence without physical contact. Lights switch on and off dependably. - Recessed 17mm installation - The small sensor LED sits flush inside the cabinet wall. It's an invisible door sensor switch once installed. - Wide voltage compatibility - It works with both DC 12V and 24V systems. This makes it good for most LED strip lighting projects. - Simple DuPont connector - The included cable makes wiring easier. This helps with a quick DIY cabinet light sensor switch setup. Applications - Kitchen cupboards - Mount it inside a cabinet frame. It will light up shelves and contents the moment you open the door. - Wardrobes and closets - Install it as an automatic LED light sensor for a wardrobe. You can easily see your clothes without looking for a switch. - Custom furniture builds - Put this hidden touch sensor switch into media consoles, display cases, or desks. It gives you built-in accent lighting. What It Is This is a capacitive sensor, specifically designed as a touch switch for cabinet lights. It operates on a DC input voltage range of 12-24V and can handle an output current of 5A. As a proximity sensor, it detects the presence of a touch rather than physical pressure, making it suitable for discreet integration. It is categorised as a low voltage device, operating below 75Vdc, and connects via a DuPont Connector. Key Uses & Applications This capacitive sensor is primarily used for controlling LED lamps and cabinet lighting, offering a touch-activated switching solution. Its low voltage operation makes it safe for various installations. As a touch sensor, it provides a seamless user experience, eliminating the need for traditional mechanical switches. It is suitable for applications where a subtle and reliable on/off function is required, such as under-cabinet lighting in kitchens or display cabinets. How to Choose When selecting a capacitive sensor, consider the input voltage requirements, which for this product are 12-24V DC. Ensure the output current capacity of 5A is sufficient for your LED lamps or cabinet lights. Evaluate the connector type; this model uses a DuPont Connector. While this is a touch sensor, other proximity sensors like optical or barrel sensors might be more suitable for different detection needs, such as sensing objects at a distance of 5 cm. To test a proximity sensor, connect it to a compatible power source and observe its response to a touch.
