SCHURTER: New Touchless Hidden Switch (THS) is Concealed Behind Surface

SCHURTER introduces the innovative THS switch series with optical sensor technology that can be concealed behind any surface without the need for mounting holes. A small opening in the user interface is all that is needed to allow the ToF sensor to actuate. Equipment and appliances used in public areas has created demand for non-contact switches to replace conventional touch-activated switches. The THS is a touchless switch that provides an excellent hygienic solution to prevent the spread of pathogens.
