The Banner K50ABTXGHQ is a robust and versatile capacitive touch button with LED indication, designed to provide dependable operator input and feedback in industrial automation environments. As part of the Banner K50 series, it combines touch-sensitive technology, rugged construction, and high-visibility illumination to create a solution that is durable, easy to use, and ideal for a wide range of applications.

At the core of this model is its capacitive touch sensing technology, which eliminates the need for mechanical actuation. Unlike traditional push buttons, the K50ABTXGHQ does not rely on moving parts that can wear out or fail over time. Instead, the sensor responds quickly to a light touch, even through gloves. This not only ensures a long operational life but also enhances hygiene by providing a flat, crevice-free surface that resists dirt buildup and allows for easy cleaning.

The device operates on a 12–30 V DC power supply, ensuring broad compatibility with modern industrial control systems. Its discrete output provides direct connectivity to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), machine inputs, or operator interface panels, making it suitable for use in high-speed production environments or precision-driven processes. The reliability of discrete signalling ensures consistent operation, reducing the risk of errors and downtime.

One of the key advantages of the K50ABTXGHQ is its integrated LED illumination. The large 50 mm dome provides bright, evenly distributed lighting that is clearly visible from multiple angles and distances. This ensures operators receive immediate and unambiguous visual feedback regarding machine or process states, streamlining workflows and reducing the likelihood of operator error.

Built to withstand tough operating conditions, the K50ABTXGHQ is IP67 and IP69K rated, offering full dust-tight sealing and protection against high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. These ratings make it particularly well suited for environments such as food and beverage processing, packaging facilities, and pharmaceuticals, where equipment is exposed to moisture, cleaning agents, and frequent washdowns. Its rugged design ensures long-lasting performance and reduces the cost of replacements or downtime due to environmental wear.

The compact 50 mm dome housing makes the K50ABTXGHQ highly versatile for installation in panels, machine frames, or pick-to-light systems. Its ergonomic, user-friendly design supports operator comfort while maintaining the robustness required in industrial automation environments.

In practical applications, the K50ABTXGHQ is ideal for machine start/stop control, operator acknowledgement, pick-to-light systems, workstation guidance, and process verification. By combining intuitive touch input with bright visual feedback, it improves operator efficiency, reduces errors, and enhances system safety.

In summary, the Banner K50ABTXGHQ is a durable and efficient touch button with discrete output, designed to thrive in demanding automation environments. With its capacitive sensing technology, 12–30 V DC supply, IP67/IP69K environmental protection, and high-visibility LED feedback, it delivers reliability, clarity, and resilience for modern industrial operations.
