Capacitance Touch Switches A capacitance switch needs only one electrode to function. The electrode can be placed behind a non-conductive panel such as wood, glass, or plastic. The switch works using body capacitance, a property of the human body that gives it great electricalcharacteristics.

Piezo Touch Switches Piezo touch switches are based on mechanical bending of piezo ceramic, typically constructed directly behind a surface. Current commercial solutions construct the piezo in such way that touching with approximately 1.5 N is enough, even for stiff materials like stainless steel.
