DFRobot Non-contact Capacitive Liquid Level Sensor for Container OD > 11mm - Digital Switch Output
The DFRobot Non-contact Capacitive Liquid Level Sensor provides a reliable, non-invasive method for detecting liquid levels through non-metallic container walls. It outputs a digital switch signal, making it directly compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other 5V/12V microcontroller platforms for tank monitoring and fluid control applications.
Features
- Non-contact capacitive sensing through plastic, glass, or ceramic walls (OD > 11mm)
- Digital switch output for direct connection to Arduino and other microcontrollers
- Adjustable sensitivity and status indicator for real-time feedback
- IP65-rated ABS housing for durable operation in humid environments
- Wide operating temperature range from -5°C to 105°C

This sensor operates on a capacitive sensing principle, detecting changes in dielectric constant caused by the presence of liquid inside a non-metallic pipe or container. Its pure electronic, non-mechanical structure ensures stable performance and a long operational life, free from wear and tear. The integrated circuitry includes special filtering for power frequency and common-mode interference, providing high sensitivity and strong immunity to external electromagnetic noise.
Designed for industrial and DIY applications, it can penetrate container walls up to 20mm thick and is unaffected by corrosive liquids, strong acids, alkalis, or impurities. The sensor provides accurate detection even for boiling water, with a typical liquid level error of ±1.5mm. It comes with a 4-pin adaptor for straightforward digital signal collection and system integration.
