Out of Stock

The HS-S43-L is a capacitive touch sensor module compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32. It detects touch through its gold-plated contact or indirectly through insulating materials like plastic or glass, offering a solid-state alternative to mechanical switches.

Features

  • Capacitive sensing principle for reliable touch detection through non-metallic covers.
  • Configurable output mode (switch or button) via solderable Jumper selection.
  • Wide operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5V DC for broad microcontroller compatibility.
  • Gold-plated contact surface ensures stable, corrosion-resistant signal pickup.
  • Compact PCB design with PH2.0 connector and dual screw mounting holes for secure installation.

Description

The HS-S43-L touch sensor module operates on capacitive sensing technology, detecting changes in capacitance when a conductive object (like a human finger) approaches or contacts its gold-plated sensing pad. This change is processed by the onboard IC to produce a clean digital output signal. The module can sense touch not only through direct contact but also through insulating overlays such as plastic, glass, or acrylic up to a certain thickness, enabling seamless integration into finished enclosures.

Engineered for stability, the module includes a PH2.0 terminal for reliable wiring connections and features two solderable Jumper pads to select between two distinct operational modes. In ‘switch mode,’ the output toggles with each touch, ideal for applications like touch-controlled lamps. In ‘button mode,’ the output is active only while the sensor is touched, mimicking a momentary pushbutton. Proper installation requires mounting the module with a small air gap above the mounting surface to prevent parasitic capacitance from causing false triggers.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity capacitive sensing via a dedicated gold-plated contact pad.
  • Dual-mode operation (latching switch or momentary button) selectable via solder Jumper.
  • Robust 3.3V/5V dual-voltage operation for seamless integration with common development boards.
  • PH2.0 locking connector provides a secure and vibration-resistant electrical interface.
  • Compact footprint (31mm x 18mm) with dual M2 mounting holes for stable mechanical fixation.
  • Capable of sensing through insulating overlays, enabling flush panel-mount designs.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for replacing mechanical switches in consumer electronics and IoT interfaces.

Applications

  • Replacement for mechanical buttons in consumer appliances and control panels.
  • Touch-activated controls for DIY smart home lighting and fan systems.
  • User interface elements in embedded systems and IoT devices requiring sealed, waterproof fronts.
  • Proximity or touch sensing in interactive art installations and educational electronics kits.
  • Non-contact switch integration in medical or laboratory equipment where contamination must be minimized.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the HS-S43-L touch sensor?

The HS-S43-L module is designed to operate on a DC supply voltage of either 3.3V or 5V. This dual-voltage compatibility makes it directly usable with a wide range of microcontrollers, including Arduino (5V), Raspberry Pi (3.3V), ESP32 (3.3V), and STM32 boards, without requiring level-shifting circuitry.

How do I switch between the switch mode and button mode on this module?

Mode selection is performed by soldering a specific pair of Jumper pads on the PCB. Soldering the upper pair of pads configures the module for 'switch mode' (latching output). Soldering the lower pair configures it for 'button mode' (momentary output). The module ships with no default connection; you must solder the appropriate Jumper for your desired function.

Can this sensor detect touch through a protective cover or panel?

Yes, the capacitive sensing technology allows the HS-S43-L to detect touch through non-conductive, insulating materials such as plastic, glass, or acrylic. The effective sensing distance and sensitivity depend on the thickness and dielectric constant of the covering material. For reliable operation, it is recommended to test with your specific panel thickness during integration.

What are the mounting considerations for this touch sensor?

For stable operation, mount the module using the two provided M2 screw holes to secure it to your chassis. Crucially, ensure there is a small air gap (1-2mm) between the back of the PCB and the mounting surface to prevent parasitic capacitance from causing false triggers. Do not hold the sensor directly in hand during operation, as body heat can affect the onboard capacitor.
