What are the  capacitive touch springs widely used for?

The capacitive touch springs can be applied in various fields such as household appliances, medical equipment, robotics, wearable technology, automated devices, tools, gas, instrumentation, automotive industries, and more. For example, the capacitive touch springs are now very commonly found in household appliances such as induction cookers, microwaves, ovens, refrigerators, air conditioners, coffee machines, and audio systems, and so on.

FAQ for Capacitive Touch Springs

Q1: How does the specific working height of 5.0~5.8mm impact the sensitivity of the touch sensor? 

A: Maintaining the spring within this recommended working range ensures optimal compression force against the overlay. This prevents "air gaps" that can cause signal attenuation, ensuring the MCU receives a clean, consistent change in capacitance upon every touch.

Q2: Regarding high-volume production, how do you ensure the electrical resistance remains uniform across millions of units? 

A: We use specialized plating processes and high-conductivity materials to maintain low contact resistance. Each batch undergoes rigorous height and force testing to ensure that whether you are using the first or the millionth spring, the touch sensitivity across your entire interface remains identical.

Q3: Can these springs be used in environments with high humidity without degrading the signal quality? 

A: Yes, our springs are treated with anti-oxidation coatings (such as Nickel or Tin plating) and are RoHS/Reach compliant. This ensures the contact surface remains free of corrosion, which is vital for maintaining signal integrity in kitchen appliances or industrial environments.

Q4: Since the GD052 model is always in stock, is it possible to negotiate the 1,000 pcs MOQ for urgent prototyping?

A: Our 1,000 pcs MOQ is designed to support both cost-efficiency and large-scale monthly production. However, because we maintain a large stock of this specific model, we can often accommodate smaller initial quantities for your design evaluation and free sample testing. This ensures you can verify the 5.0~5.8mm working height in your assembly before committing to a full production run.

Q5: What should I consider if my housing design requires a height slightly different from the 6.6mm free height? 

A: While the GD052 is a standard model with existing stock, we can evaluate your specific design requirements for a custom height. However, utilizing the 5.0~5.8mm working range of this ready-made tool is the most cost-effective way to achieve professional results without additional tooling fees.
