Fargo Controls, Inc. is pleased to offer a unique normally open / normally closed selector switch on its 2-wire AC/DC 30mm capacitive sensors. This combination of output and voltages greatly reduces the need to stock separate models. These models are also not polarity sensitive so there is no complicated wiring or a need to reverse wiring to change the output. (read more)

Capacitive sensors allow people to touch something and see a reaction. The electrical current that passes from the finger into the machine makes something happen. When you are using your hands you will feel more involved in the project. Our fingers allow us to feel much more connected with what we are doing and allow us the immediate control to make that happen. (read more)

Capacitance is the ability of a device to store an electronic charge. In a parallel plate capacitor, the amount of charge that can be stored is directly proportional to the area between the two plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates. If the plates are separated by a spring, upon application of a force, the distance between the plates... (read more)
