The Banner K50APTGYCQ is a rugged, versatile touch button with LED indication designed to provide reliable operator input and visual feedback in a wide range of industrial applications. Part of Banner’s well-regarded K50 series, this unit combines capacitive touch sensing with clear visual signalling in a compact, durable form factor, ensuring ease of use, long service life, and adaptability in demanding environments.

At the core of the K50APTGYCQ is its capacitive touch technology, which eliminates mechanical actuation and the wear associated with moving parts. The smooth, flat surface responds easily to the touch of a finger, even when the operator is wearing gloves. This design not only improves long-term durability but also enhances hygiene, as the seamless dome surface resists the buildup of dirt or debris and is easy to clean—making it ideal for food and beverage, packaging, and pharmaceutical applications.

The device is powered by a 12–30 V DC supply, allowing for straightforward integration into modern industrial control systems. Its discrete output provides direct connectivity to PLCs, machine inputs, or panel systems, ensuring stable and accurate signal transmission. This capability makes it suitable for high-speed workflows where precise operator interaction is critical.

To improve usability and process visibility, the K50APTGYCQ is equipped with integrated green and yellow LED indicators. These bright, evenly illuminated colours allow a single unit to display multiple machine states, such as “ready” (green) and “warning” or “in progress” (yellow). This reduces the need for separate indicators and simplifies system design. The 50 mm dome ensures that status feedback is visible from multiple angles and distances, enhancing communication and efficiency on busy production floors.

Durability is a hallmark of the K50APTGYCQ. Rated IP67 and IP69K, the unit is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Its rugged construction and resistance to moisture and cleaning agents make it a reliable choice in industries with strict hygiene and environmental demands. This robustness reduces downtime, lowers maintenance needs, and extends service life.

The compact dome housing provides flexibility for installation in operator stations, machine panels, or pick-to-light systems. Its simple mounting and robust design ensure long-term stability, even in environments with vibration or frequent cleaning.

In practical applications, the K50APTGYCQ is ideal for start/stop control, workstation guidance, pick-to-light assembly, and quality assurance systems. By combining capacitive touch input with multicolour LED indication, it enhances operator efficiency, reduces errors, and simplifies workflows.

In summary, the Banner K50APTGYCQ is a high-performance touch button with discrete output designed for usability and durability. With its capacitive sensing, 12–30 V DC power range, IP67/IP69K protection, and green/yellow LED indication, it provides a dependable and versatile solution for industrial environments that demand reliable operator input and clear feedback.
