Principle of Operation

Capacitance switches depend on electrical capacitance theory (the ability of a medium to store electrical energy). When an electric circuit has two separated conductive plates, the space between the plates acts as a capacitor and stores the electrical energy. Mediums have differing conductivity and dielectric constants which affects their energy ｓ storage capability. Once the switch comes into connection with the medium, it can detect an alteration in the environmental surroundings capacitance and this actuates the switch accordingly.

Materials with high conductivity or high dielectric constants such as for example water generally have high capacitance. The opposite applies for low conductive substances such as for example wax or air. Thus the switch works well in mediums with reasonably high dielectric constants or conductive solutions.
