Hi All,
I would like to use a capacitive switch for an application. The reason is that we don't want to make any holes on the housing for IP reasons but we need a switch for a specific feature. I have though about capacitive switches and if they could still work behind a metallic plank. The idea is that the capacitive switch is touching the housing from inside and the user can touch the area with his finger from outside the housing where the capacitive switch. Would that trigger the switch even though there is a layer of metal between the user and the capacitive switch?
Anyone has done something similar or have any experience on this?
Thanks in Advance,
Winsu.
