Wired Sensor Switch for Low- and High-Voltage Lighting Systems

 

Wired sensor switches are hardwired electronic control units designed to switch, trigger, or dim low-voltage (12–24 V DC) and high-voltage (85–265 V AC) lighting circuits through capacitive touch, passive infrared (PIR) detection, or mechanical proximity sensing.

Wired Sensor Switch Types
 
01/

Low-Voltage Dimmable Touch Switches: 12–24 V DC modules with stepless PWM dimming and press ON/OFF control, rated up to 5 A (60 W maximum at 12 V DC).

02/

Hidden Surface Touch Switches: Capacitive sensors for concealed mounting behind non-metallic panels such as wood, composite board, or acrylic, without exterior cutouts.

03/

Hidden Double-Head Touch Switches: Dual capacitive probes connected to one control PCB, enabling operation from two entry points on a single cabinet channel.

04/

Concealed PIR Motion Sensor Switches: Compact PIR switches for frame-integrated installation, automatically controlling lighting when motion is detected.

05/

High-Voltage AC PIR Sensor Switches: Mains-powered PIR switches operating at 85–265 V AC for direct connection to high-voltage fixtures or power lines.

06/

Metal-Sensing Head Touch Switches: Surface-mounted touch sensors for metallic structures or humid, enclosed cabinets.

 

Detection Range
 

Hidden Touch Panel Thickness:

Penetrates non-metallic panels (wood, composite, or acrylic) up to 3mm thick, depending on material density and dielectric constant.

PIR Detection Distance:

Senses thermal motion within a range of 2 to 3 meters under standard indoor temperature conditions.

PIR Field Angle:

Coverage pattern spans 90° to 120°, aligning with interior cabinet frames, wardrobes, and doorway passage paths.

PIR Auto Turn-Off Delay:

Automatically cuts power after a fixed inactivity period when no motion is detected within the zone.

 

 
 
Wiring & Connection Options

Stripped and Tinned Wire Leads:

Pre-stripped wire ends with tinned conductors, suitable for direct PCB soldering or screw terminal clamping during panel fabrication.

Parallel Dual-Head Cables:

Integrated Y-splitter cables connecting two sensing probes to one central control module.

Wired Sensor Switch Dimensions & Installation

Sensor Probe Dimensions: Standard 12mm diameter recessed heads; low-profile surface-mount and compact concealed PIR sensor capsules.

 

Panel Cutout & Mounting Depth: Requires a 12mm precise routing cutout for recessed models; minimum 15mm cavity depth behind front panel.

 

Concealed Panel Limits: Rear-mounted touch sensors penetrate non-metallic panels (wood, composite, acrylic) up to 3mm maximum thickness.

 

Dual-Probe Setup Constraints: Twin capacitive heads connect via Y-splitter cable requiring parallel routing clearance inside cabinet frame channels.

 

Control Module Placement: Main PCB housing mounts separately within joinery hollows with minimum 10mm ambient clearance for thermal dissipation.

 

Cable Routing Space: Standard 1.5m lead wire paths require recessed cable channels to avoid wire pinch during cabinet assembly.

 

Wired Sensor Switch Selection Guide

 

 

Trigger Requirement:

Select PIR motion sensors for hands-free cabinet lighting; select capacitive touch modules for manual ON/OFF and dimming control.

 

Control Points:

Use dual-head touch models when light activation is required from two separate physical points on the same cabinet frame.

 

Environmental Suitability:

Specify moisture-sealed metal head units for humid environments such as bathroom vanities and mirror enclosures.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What isolation clearance is provided between the AC input and low-voltage sensor circuitry?

A: The switch maintains at least 6 mm of creepage and clearance between the 85–265 V AC input and internal PIR circuitry.

Q: Can static buildup on acrylic panels cause false triggering?

A: In dry climates, static may cause minor sensitivity drift.

Q: What additional quality testing applies to the High-Voltage AC PIR Switch?

A: Each unit undergoes a 1500 V AC, 60-second hipot test, in addition to standard functional and PIR calibration tests.

Q: What maintenance do capacitive touch models require?

A: No routine maintenance is required. However, periodically clean the panel surface to remove dust, grime, or wax that may affect sensing consistency.

Q: For a bathroom vanity with both a mirror light and an exhaust fan on the same circuit, can one PIR switch control both loads?

A: It depends on the combined load — if both the light and fan together stay within the switch's rated capacity (e.g., under 5A at 12-24V DC), they can share one PIR switch; loads exceeding that limit require a separate relay or a higher-capacity switch model.

Q: What is the standard sample lead time, and does the high-voltage AC PIR model take longer?

A: Standard samples for low-voltage DC models are ready in 5–7 working days. High-voltage AC PIR samples typically require 7–10 working days due to the additional hipot test performed before
