E1036 Metal Touch Sensor Module

KY-036 Metal Touch Sensor Module – Touch Input for Arduino Projects

The KY-036 metal touch sensor module provides a simple way to add touch-based input to electronic projects. Using a metal probe to detect changes in electrical conductivity, it allows students to trigger actions or read variable signals with Arduino-compatible boards.

Key Features

• Detects touch via electrical conductivity
• Dual output: digital and analog
• Adjustable sensitivity via onboard potentiometer
• Fast response to human contact
• Compact and easy to integrate

What’s Included

• 1 × KY-036 Metal Touch Sensor Module
