The Difference in Capacitive vs Resistive Touch Sensors - Another Teaching Moment | DigiKey

In today’s fast-paced digital world, touch interfaces are more than just convenience—they’re essential. Whether you're designing an industrial machine interface, a consumer kiosk, or a handheld device, understanding touch sensor technology is key to building intuitive and reliable human-machine interfaces (HMIs). In this video, we explore the two dominant types of touch sensors used in electronics today: capacitive and resistive. You’ll learn how each technology works, how they differ in cost, sensitivity, durability, and object detection, and which one is best suited for your application.
