In many applications, such as construction machinery, medical technology, vending machines, and sanitary and kitchen installations, it is essential that electronic systems operate reliably under harsh environmental conditions.
TCRC is a capacitive sensor system based on proven EBE corTEC® technology, offering a robust, weatherproof, and waterproof solution specifically developed for indoor and outdoor use. Whether in freezing cold, tropical heat, humidity, or dust, TCRC sensors operate reliably. They can even be operated with gloves or dirty fingers and are unaffected by water, oil, ice, food residue, or dirt.

The technology accurately detects real inputs and distinguishes them from unintentional activations.

Based on EBE corTEC®: intelligent signal processing for maximum reliability.
TCRC touch sensors are based on EBE's patented corTEC® capacitive sensor technology.
This combination of hardware and intelligent signal processing enables reliable evaluation of touch behavior with fast response times, even in harsh electrical and mechanical environments.
Operation is effortless. TCRC touch sensors can be flexibly integrated behind robust cover materials, such as glass or plastic, offering a high degree of design freedom. They are particularly space-efficient, measuring only 30 x 30 mm (1.18 x 1.18 inches). They are also vandal-proof, thanks to the option of fully enclosed systems. Furthermore, the sensors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Indoor applications include healthcare and medical technology, while outdoor applications include construction machinery and vending machines.
They can also be used in areas with large quantities of water, such as high-pressure cleaners and showers. Thanks to the encapsulation surrounding the sensor, IP67 requirements can almost always be met, while the button remains fully functional.

 Quick evaluation, easy integration.
For development departments, EBE provides an evaluation kit for the TCRC that includes all necessary components with the associated software and PC interface.
This allows for testing the button's function and customization options directly in the intended application and adapting them individually to the specific installation situation.
