A touch panel switch is one of many types of activation switches that just needs to be in contact with or under pressure from an operator or object to function.

In many ways, touch panel switches are the most basic sort of tactile sensor; they are often a type of binary on/off electrical switch that only activates when there is direct physical contact or a certain amount of pressure being applied to it.

Touch Panel switches are widely utilised in a great number of various applications, both at home and at the office, because they can function when mounted on or underneath the surface of many different panel types and displays. On a single panel or display, multiple touch panel switches are frequently positioned sequentially.
