The Banner K50CABT2XGHQ is a robust and versatile capacitive touch button designed to provide reliable operator interface functionality in industrial automation environments. Part of the proven Banner K50 series, this model combines touch-activated technology, bright visual indication, and rugged construction to deliver a dependable solution for machine control, operator guidance, and workstation feedback.

At its core, the K50CABT2XGHQ functions as a touch-activated button, eliminating the need for mechanical actuation. By using capacitive sensing technology, the device can be triggered with a simple touch, even when the operator is wearing gloves. This non-mechanical interface reduces wear and tear, extending the device’s operational life compared to traditional pushbuttons. The capacitive design also enhances hygiene since it minimises crevices where dirt and debris could accumulate, making it particularly useful in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

The unit carries IP67 and IP69K ratings, ensuring maximum protection against dust, water, and high-pressure washdowns. This rugged environmental protection allows the K50CABT2XGHQ to be installed in demanding environments where equipment is frequently exposed to cleaning agents, moisture, or heavy use. The high ingress protection ratings make it well-suited for sanitary and washdown applications, as well as outdoor installations where exposure to weather is a factor.

Operating on a 12–30 V DC supply voltage, the touch button integrates seamlessly with standard industrial power systems. Its wide voltage range provides stable performance and compatibility across diverse automation platforms, making it easy to incorporate into both new and existing equipment.

The K50CABT2XGHQ also provides a discrete output, enabling straightforward on/off switching for direct integration with controllers, relays, or machine logic. This allows the device to be used in a wide range of control and indication applications, from simple operator start/stop functions to more complex system inputs. Its bright, integrated LED lighting provides clear visual feedback to operators, ensuring unambiguous confirmation of actuation and improving workflow efficiency.

With its 50 mm dome housing, the K50CABT2XGHQ offers excellent visibility and ease of use. The large, illuminated surface ensures operators can quickly locate and activate the button, even in low-light conditions or busy production areas. Its ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue and increases reliability in repetitive-use scenarios.

Typical applications include start/stop machine control, call-for-parts systems, operator feedback stations, quality check confirmations, and pick-to-light operations. In environments where hygiene, reliability, and ruggedness are priorities, the K50CABT2XGHQ stands out as a cost-effective and dependable choice.

In summary, the Banner K50CABT2XGHQ Capacitive Touch Button combines touch-activated technology, rugged IP67/IP69K protection, wide 12–30 V DC power compatibility, and discrete output functionality. Built to last in demanding environments, it provides reliable, user-friendly operator input for a wide range of industrial applications while reducing maintenance and improving productivity.
