Applications of Touch Switch

Introduction

We have elaborately discussed the salient features of this versatile touch switch in our previous post. Ongoing through the features discussed, we can surely assemble this circuit design for utility-oriented applications that can be put into use with a lot of gadgets. With the ingenuity of circuit capabilities, one can think of hundreds of applications of this touch switch in a home as well as out-of-the-home projects. The wide variety of applications of this versatile touch switch is discussed here. These are only indicative applications. You can add many more such useful applications for the effective use of the circuit.

Applications

Door-bell

You know that doorbell is an indispensable item for the households. Almost all houses have doorbell facilities all over the world. A simple low-cost doorbell circuit can be designed using this versatile touch switch. Touch-operated doorbells fascinate the visitors.

Toys

Many toys nowadays employ touch switches for their operation. Touch switch can be easily attached to the toys for its functionality. Especially remote-operated touch control systems are popular among modern toys. The touch switch modules are very small it can easily accommodate the toys. Apart from that most of the toys are battery operated. As such battery-powered low current consumption touch switches can be easily added to the toys.

Toy motors

Toy motors are widely used in most amusement items. These motors are battery operated and it is necessary a switching mechanism is needed to switch on and switch off the motors for instant operations. In such cases, touch switches are more compatible with these toy motors.

Touch switches for auto operation

Touch switches can be coupled with timers and set for specific periods of operation. Even for manual operation touch switch helps to switch on and switch off whenever required.

On/off control for instantaneous operation

Normal mechanical switches are incapable of switching on/off very quickly in very short intervals which measure for some microseconds. In such types of applications, these touch switches operate with lightning speed and complete the operation.

Employment of DC relays

In the output section, DC relays can be connected to the touch switches through which AC mains voltage can be controlled. Hence electrical isolation is perfectly achieved. Many such touch switches are widely used in industrial applications.

To sum up

The above-listed applications are only illustrative and one can imagine many such useful utility-oriented ideas and can be easily integrated. Hence there is no limit for use. Experiment with new ideas and share yours here for the benefit of all.
