OE-TP 10A Capacitive Touch Switch Module 5-12V DC Arduino
OE-TP 10A Capacitive Touch Switch Module – Stepless Dimming for Arduino & DIY Projects
Take control of your lighting and electronics projects with the OE-TP 10A Capacitive Touch Switch Module. Compact enough to fit behind glass or acrylic panels (touch distance up to 6mm), this tiny but powerful module delivers smooth, stepless dimming with memory — no mechanical buttons required. Whether you're building a custom Arduino setup, a smart desk lamp, or a DIY home automation system, this module offers a clean, reliable capacitive touch solution.
Key Features
- Capacitive Touch Technology: Works through glass or acrylic up to 6mm thick — no direct contact needed
- Stepless Dimming with Memory: Smoothly adjusts brightness and remembers your last setting (configurable working mode)
- Wide Voltage Range: Operates on DC 5–20V (12V recommended); ideal for 5V Arduino and 12V LED circuits
- High Output Current: Rated up to 10A max; recommended working current 3A for sustained loads
- Ultra-Low Static Current: Less than 5mA standby draw — energy efficient for always-on applications
- Reverse Polarity Protection: Built-in protection guards your circuit if power is accidentally connected in reverse
- Visual Output Indicator: Red LED confirms touch input and output status at a glance
- Coin-Sized Form Factor: Just 20×15×2mm and 1.5g — fits easily into tight enclosures or behind panels
- SMD Package / 2.54mm Pad Spacing: Standard pitch makes it breadboard- and PCB-friendly
- Wide Operating Temperature: Reliable from -40°C to +85°C — suitable for indoor and outdoor enclosures
- Arduino-Compatible: Works seamlessly with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and most microcontroller platforms

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the OE-TP 10A Capacitive Touch Switch Module do?
A: The OE-TP module is a compact capacitive touch-sensitive switch and dimmer. It detects a touch through glass or acrylic panels (up to 6mm thick) and controls a connected DC load — such as an LED strip or lamp — with smooth stepless dimming. It also features memory mode, so it restores the last brightness level when powered back on.
Q: Is this module compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers?
A: Yes! The OE-TP module is fully Arduino-compatible and works with most 5V and 12V microcontroller platforms including Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, and similar boards. Its standard 2.54mm pad spacing makes it easy to integrate into breadboards and custom PCBs.
Q: What voltage and current should I use with this module?
A: The module accepts DC 5–20V input, with 12V recommended for optimal performance. The output current is rated up to 10A maximum, but for continuous/sustained loads, a working current of 3A is recommended to ensure longevity and stability of the module.
Q: Can this module control non-LED loads?
A: The OE-TP module is primarily designed for DC loads such as LED strips, LED panels, and small DC motors within the supported voltage and current ratings. Always ensure your load does not exceed the 10A peak / 3A recommended continuous current rating for safe operation.
Q: How many modules come in the package?
A: You can select from 1-piece, 5-piece, or 10-piece packs using the quantity option on the product page — perfect whether you need a single module for prototyping or a bulk pack for a larger installation project.
