GQ series capacitive stainless steel pushbuttons for industrial applications

Robust capacitive pushbuttons for industrial HMI systems – durable, maintenance-free and reliable in continuous operation

Robust construction for industrial environments

The GQ series capacitive pushbuttons are designed specifically for industrial applications, combining robust mechanical construction with durable, wear-free sensor technology. The high-quality stainless steel housing, with IP68 protection and IK09 impact resistance, ensures reliable operation even under demanding environmental conditions such as humidity, dust, or mechanical stress.

Wear-free capacitive actuation

Actuation is capacitive and therefore contactless. This completely eliminates mechanical wear, enabling service lives of over 10 million switching cycles. The pushbuttons operate as momentary contacts (1NO) and are designed for switching capacities up to 3A at 24VDC.

Wide range of applications and temperatures

Reliable operation is ensured within an extended temperature range of -25 °C to +70 °C. This makes the pushbuttons suitable for both indoor and demanding industrial outdoor applications.

Flexible options for different HMI concepts

The GQ series is available in various mounting diameters of 16 mm, 19 mm, and 22 mm, thus offering maximum flexibility for integration into a wide variety of operating concepts. Depending on the version, flat or concave touch surfaces are available.

Visual status indicator via integrated LED

The portfolio is complemented by integrated ring LEDs in various voltages and colors. These enable a clear, intuitive status display and support safe user guidance.

Easy integration and installation: The pushbuttons are designed for panel thicknesses from 1 to 12 mm, allowing for easy integration into a wide variety of housing and front panel solutions. This simplifies both design and series production.
