IntelliTouch/SecureTouch/iTouch Touch Technology Specifications

Mechanical • Environmental • Electrostatic Protection • Agency Approvals • Warranty • Optical • Documentation

1. Mechanical

1.1 Construction

Glass panel with transducers attached to the front surface of the glass.

1.2 Cable and Connector

Cable typically exits from the right side, terminating in a 2 x 6, 0.025 in (0.635 mm) square post receptacle.

1.3 Positional Accuracy

Standard deviation of error is not greater than 7.62 mm and can be significantly less.

1.4 Touchpoint Density

More than 100,000 touchpoints/in² (15,500 touchpoints/cm²) for a 15-inch touchscreen when used with the 27xx series controller.

1.5 Touch Activation Force

Typically less than 3 ounces (85 grams).

1.6 Expected Life Performance

No known wear-out mechanism, as there are no layers, coatings, or moving parts. IntelliTouch technology has been operationally tested to more than 50 million touches in one location without failure, using a stylus similar to a finger.

1.7 Sealing

Unit can be sealed to protect against splashed liquids, dirt, and dust. Download IntelliTouch/SecureTouch Touchscreen Guide (1.1 MB PDF) for details.

1.8 Surface Durability

Surface durability is that of glass, Mohs' hardness rating of 7.
