The contact capacitive level sensors series by DK Sensor provides a high-reliability, solid-state alternative to traditional mechanical float switches. By utilizing a floatless, single-composition architecture, these sensors eliminate chronic mechanical failures caused by structural wear, external shock, or high-vibration environments. Optimized for seamless “Design-in” engineering and OEM integration, this lineup delivers a highly cost-competitive solution backed by long-term Project Protection.
Key Technical Highlights:
Floatless Solid-State Architecture: Built with no moving parts, dramatically increasing the sensor’s operational lifespan and resistance to severe physical impacts.
Exceptional Accuracy & Repeatability: Engineered to deliver a precise measurement accuracy of ±0.5 mm with a tight repeatability profile of ±0.2 mm.
Dual-Media Versatility: Capable of reliably detecting both conductive liquids (such as tap water and ground water) and dry powders.
STEM Detection Unit: Triggers a clean digital output signal when the target medium comes within 2 mm to 8 mm from the tip of the specialized STEM sensing element.
Electrical Compatibility: Supports standard industrial operating voltages of 3.3V or 5V (±5%), allowing easy integration into existing hardware architectures.
Target Applications: Designed for harsh and space-constrained environments, these contact sensors are ideal for commercial water purifiers, ice machines, HVAC condensation systems, dry powder processing hoppers, and automated fluid dispensing machinery.
