Through Glass Push Button Switch
This simple technique allows a mechanical pushbutton switch assembly to activate a reed type relay through a pane of thick glass. Pushing the button moves a magnet near the reed relay, closing the relay contacts.. . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-November, 2010
Touch Activated Alarm
Not much to tell here as the circuit speaks for itself. The 555 can be almost any type, they are all pin-compatible. Although some CMOS
types may not have enough power to drive the transistor, in that case use an ordinary 555. C1's working voltage should be increased to 25V if you decide to go with a 12V power source. Change the value of C1 for the desired output pulse __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Touch Activated Lamp
The circuits below light a 20 watt lamp when the contacts are touched and the skin resistance is about 2 Megs or less. The circuit on the left uses a power MOSFET which turns on when the voltage between the source and gate is around 6 volts. The gate of the MOSFET draws no current so the voltage __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Touch activated switch
A touch switch is a switch that is turned on and off by touching a wire contact, instead of flicking a lever like a regular switch. Touch switches have no mechanical parts to wear out, so they last a lot longer than regular switches. Touch switches can be used in places where regular switches would not last, such as wet or very dusty areas. __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Touch Activated Battery Powered Latching Relay - A client needed a touch activated switch. The unit needed to be fairly small and wired into the underside of some kitchen cabinets. When touched, a string of fluorescent or LED lights, mounted under the cabinets, would turn on. The total light power is less than 100 watts. The system into two parts. (1) A relay is mounted inside a plastic junction box and (2) a touch switch module. Four wires leading from plastic junction box would connect to a second box containing the touch switch module. The circuit is a simple relay driver powered by a9v battery. . . . Dave Johnson, Lubbock TX-DC Magazine - Issue 20 Nov 2011

Touch Sensor Switch with 555 timer
This is a very simple touch sensor switch that is build with the 555 timer IC. You just need to touch the metal plate and the relay gets energised and is kept in this state for about 100 seconds, then is released. This kind of sensor switch is suitable for making touch operated bells, buzzers of small toys which operate for a __ Designed by Popescu Marian
Touch Switch
The Touch Switch circuit will detect stray voltages produced by mains voltages and electrostatic build-up in a room. In the first circuit, pin 2 must see a LOW for the circuit to activate. If sufficient static voltage is detected by the plate, the chip will change state. If not, you will need to touch the plate and the 0v rail___ 555-Timer
Touch switch
This circuit uses a 555 timer as the bases of the touch switch. You can learn more about 555 timers in the Learning section on my site. When the plate is touched the 555 timer is triggered and the output on pin 3 goes high turning on the LED and the buzzer for a certain period of time. __ Designed by IQ Technologies
