NKK Switches ZE Series Multi-Touch Resistive Touch Screens
NKK Switches ZE Series Multi-Touch Resistive Touch Screens are designed for use in environments requiring durable and responsive user interfaces. These screens provide multi-touch functionality while maintaining operability with gloves, a stylus, or bare fingers. The ZE series screens feature an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C and a maximum touch activation range from 0.03N to 0.3N. These devices come with a maximum linearity of ±2.5% and a maximum power level of 6Vdc. Applications include industrial controls, medical equipment, point-of-sale terminals, and transportation systems.

Have I used my nose to operate a touch screen so I could keep my gloves on? Yes I have. It’s awkward yet practical in the snow, but unsafe in an industrial environment, which is what NKK’s ZE Series Multi-Touch Resistive Touch Screens are made for. These exceptional and durable touch screens utilize a resistive 4-wire cell system that detects touch by force instead of capacitance and can be applied to any display of your choice, with 7", 10.1", and 15.6" options. The use of a dedicated controller makes detecting touch simple, while its operating lifespan of at least 10 million operations and low force operation of between 0.03N and 0.3N means that you won’t be giving your fingers arthritis. With an operating temperature range from -20°C to +80°C, you can use these in some of the harshest environments.
