Product Coding and Ordering
The product codes follow a structured key indicating type, size, pole count, output type, LED colors, connection type, and optional hygienic version. For example:
- K = Capacitive
- D = Static (D), Dynamic (S), or Flip-Flop (F)
- T = Touch button
- (H) = Hygienic version (optional)
- -22- or -46- = Mounting diameter in mm
- A/B/C = 3/4/5 pole
- P = PNP output
- S-/O = Normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC)
- G/R = LED colors for LED1 and LED2
- -ST3, -ST3-4, KST3, KST3-4, KL, K = Connection types (plug, cable, clamp terminal, single strands)

Feldeffekt Taster field-effect touch button Da der Feldeffekt Taster der Serie "KT" auf Berührung der Sensorfläche reagiert und somit kein Betätigungsdruck notwendig ist, zeichnet er sich durch einen hohen Bedienerkomfort und einer langen Lebensdauer aus. Zu den weiteren Eigenschaften zählt die optische Rückmeldung, die unabhängig der Betriebsspannung gleichmäßig hell ist, das Edelstahl-Gehäuse sowie eine Hygiene-Ausführung. Neben den Standard Piktogrammen können auch kundenspezifische Piktogramme angefertigt werden. The new field-effect touch-button "KT" react on touching the surface for this...
