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

Package Contents

  • 1× Octopus Touch PAD Sensor Module

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.
