When choosing switches for industrial equipment panels, many customers hesitate: continue using traditional spring-structured buttons or upgrade to touch switches? In fact, combined with the high-frequency operation, complex environments (dust/oil/humidity), and long-term stable operation requirements of industrial scenarios, the advantages of touch switches have long surpassed those of spring-structured buttons. Today, we will not only unlock the 8 specifications and high-performance features of HBAN's HB-TS series industrial capacitive touch switches but also tell you from the root - why touch switches (especially the HB-TS series) are more worry-free, durable, and adaptable to future intelligent production than spring-structured buttons in industrial scenarios!

I. First, Understand the Core Differences: Touch Switches vs. Spring-Structured Buttons - Choose the Right One for Efficient Industrial Scenarios

Traditional spring-structured buttons rely on the pressing of mechanical contacts to turn on and off. Although seemingly mature, they hide many pain points in industrial scenarios. The HB-TS series pure capacitive touch switches, with their core design of no mechanical structure, accurately solve the fatal shortcomings of spring buttons. The core differences between the two are clear at a glance:

Comparison Dimension	Traditional Spring-Structured Buttons	HBAN HB-TS Series Touch Switches	Core Advantages in Industrial Scenarios
Service Life	Severe wear of mechanical contacts, regular service life only 100,000-500,000 times, prone to failure under high-frequency operation	No mechanical contacts, electrical life up to 1,000,000 times under rated load, 2-10 times that of spring buttons	Reduce the frequency of equipment shutdown for switch replacement, lower maintenance costs and production losses
Environmental Adaptability	Mechanical gaps are prone to dust, oil, and moisture ingress, waterproof rating is mostly below IP65, prone to short circuits in humid/dusty workshops	IK09 impact resistance + IP68 waterproof rating (Cannot be pressed underwater, resumes immediately after being taken out of water), seamless stainless steel structure, wide temperature adaptation from -25℃ to +70℃	Unaffected by workshop oil, humidity, dust, high and low temperatures, stable operation in harsh industrial environments
Operation and Maintenance	Requires strong pressing, long-term operation is prone to operator fatigue; mechanical structure is prone to jamming and poor contact, requiring regular cleaning and debugging	Triggered by light finger touch/wearing thin gloves, no pressing fatigue; no mechanical structure, maintenance-free, and the panel can be cleaned with a wipe	Improve operation efficiency, reduce later maintenance workload, adapt to high-frequency operation scenarios in industry
Anti-Interference and Intelligent Adaptability	Mechanical contacts are prone to electromagnetic interference, no intelligent linkage interface, difficult to adapt to the upgrading of automated and intelligent production lines	Equipped with imported chips + self-developed anti-electromagnetic interference algorithm, supports linkage with PLC and relays, adapts to industrial intelligent control systems	Align with the trend of Industry 4.0, assist in the intelligent upgrading of equipment, no need for additional modification of switch structure
Status Feedback and Safety	Illuminated models require additional lamp holders, complex structure; mechanical failures are prone to false triggers, general safety	Integrated red-green dual-color ring light, clear status visibility; false touch rate as low as 0.1%, waterproof and anti-false touch design for higher safety	Simplify equipment panel design, improve operational safety, reduce production risks caused by misoperation

Core Conclusion: Choosing a push button switch for industrial scenarios is essentially choosing a solution of "low maintenance, high stability, and intelligent adaptability". The HB-TS series touch switches not only avoid all the pain points of spring buttons but also become the optimal solution in high-frequency and complex environments with industrial-grade high-performance parameters!

II. Core Common Features of the HB-TS Series: Industrial-Grade High-Performance Parameters, More Adaptable to Industrial Scenarios Than Spring Buttons

As a single industrial touch switch series meticulously created by HBAN, all 8 specifications of the HB-TS series are equipped with unified industrial-grade pure capacitive sensing technology, and standardize the following core high-performance parameters, fundamentally surpassing the performance limit of spring-structured buttons:

1.Industrial-grade capacitive sensing, precise touch without interference: The entire series is equipped with imported industrial-grade capacitive sensing chips, combined with HBAN's self-developed electromagnetic interference shielding algorithm, which can effectively resist electromagnetic interference from large equipment such as workshop inverters and motors, with precise touch recognition and no delay; the sensing sensitivity is adapted to industrial scenarios, which can be triggered by wearing thin gloves or light finger touch, and the false touch rate is as low as 0.1%, meeting the high-frequency and precise operation requirements of industrial equipment.

2. 1 million times electrical life, far exceeding spring buttons: The design without mechanical contacts fundamentally eliminates the wear and jamming problems of spring buttons. The electrical life reaches 1,000,000 times under the rated load of 3A/24VDC, which is 2-10 times that of conventional spring buttons; it can be directly connected to the industrial low-voltage control system, adapting to mainstream industrial control modules such as PLC and relays, with stable operation and no faults.

3.Extreme protection and wide temperature adaptation, capable of withstanding complex environments: The entire series comes standard with IK09 impact resistance rating + IP68 waterproof rating (Note: IP68 waterproof means it cannot be pressed underwater, and can resume normal use immediately after being taken out of water). The seamless stainless steel structure can effectively block the intrusion of dust, moisture, and oil, and can operate stably even in industrial workshops with high humidity, heavy dust, and heavy oil pollution; the operating environment temperature covers -25℃ to +70℃, which can be adapted to low-temperature workshops and high-temperature production lines, with full environmental adaptability.

4.Standardized wiring design, zero threshold for installation and adaptation: The entire series is equipped with 210mm 24awg lead wires, no additional terminal blocks are needed, and it can be directly connected to the equipment control system, with simple and convenient wiring; the lead wires are made of high-temperature and oil-resistant materials, with strong aging resistance and conductivity, complying with industrial equipment safety wiring specifications, greatly reducing installation and commissioning costs, and can even directly replace the original spring buttons without modifying the equipment panel.

5.Red-green dual-color lamp beads, clear visibility of equipment status: All illuminated models are equipped with red-green dual-color LED lamp beads. The "red/green" can be set to correspond to "stop/run", "on/off" and other states through the equipment control system, no additional indicator lights are needed, simplifying the equipment panel design, allowing operators to quickly identify the equipment working conditions, improving operation efficiency, and being more concise than the "switch + independent lamp holder" structure of spring buttons.

III. Understand the Model Before Selecting: HB-TS Series Coding Rules, Understand Core Parameters at a Glance

The model coding of the HB-TS series follows the principle of "specification parameterization". Each letter and number corresponds to specific product attributes. Remember the following decoding rules, and you can quickly judge the core configuration of the product without consulting customer service:

General coding format: HB-TSXX[P/C]-10[E][Z]/Y/S/XXV/RG

XX: Mounting hole size, 16=16MM, 19=19MM, 22=22MM;

[P/C]: Head type, P=Flat head (only available for 16MM specification), C=Concave head;

10: Contact configuration, representing one normally open;

[E]: Illuminated identifier, E=With ring light, no E=Without light;

[Z]: Operation type, Z=Latching type, no Z=Momentary type;

Y: Lead terminal;

S: Material, all are stainless steel;

XXV: Lamp bead working voltage, 9-24V/24V (no this parameter for non-illuminated models);

RG: Lamp bead color, red-green dual color (no this parameter for non-illuminated models).

Example: HB-TS16P-10EZ/Y/S/9-24V/RG

Decoding: 16MM mounting hole + Flat head + One normally open + With ring light + Latching type + Stainless steel material + Lamp bead voltage 9-24V + Red-green dual color.
