The Octopus Touch PAD Sensor is a capacitive touch module based on the TTP223-BA6 IC. It detects touch through dielectric materials such as glass, ceramic, and plastic, making it suitable for touch-through-panel applications. The module connects via a 3-pin Octopus connector for plug-and-play use with Arduino and compatible boards.
Key Features
- TTP223-BA6 Capacitive Touch IC – Reliable digital touch detection
- 2.0–5.5 V Operating Voltage – Wide supply range for 3.3 V and 5 V systems
- Up to 10 mm Sensing Distance – Detects touch through insulating materials
- Adjustable Sensitivity – External 0–50 pF capacitor for tuning
- Two Operating Modes – Direct mode and toggle mode (TOG pin selectable)
- Dual Output Modes – CMOS or open-drain output with selectable active high/low
- 3-Pin Octopus Connector – Plug-and-play with Octopus-compatible boards
Ideal For
- Touch-sensitive buttons and controls
- Interactive projects and installations
- Appliance touch panels
- Arduino and microcontroller projects

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- active HIGH
- Active HIGH describes a signal that is treated as active, asserted or 'on' when it sits at a high voltage, rather than at a low voltage near ground. It applies to inputs, outputs and control lines, so it matters when matching the polarity of a signal to the behaviour expected by another circuit or controller.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
