SIE Small Capacitive Sensor SeriesThe world's smallest and most unique shaped capacitive sensors to get sensors into the tightest places. A couple of examples of sizes would be a smooth barreled 2mm and a 10mm flat disk that is only 2.5mm high. These sensors also have the ability to adjust sensing range via an amplifier.
