Supporting a wide range of control and detection
needs through creation of new sensing ability.

Alps provides many sensing solutions through a wide selection of products. The magnetic sensor is one such solution available from Alps. Pressure sensor is available as a capacitive or piezo type. Our state-of-the-art. R&D, material development, design/evaluation, MEMS, nanomaterials technology, etc. comprise the DNA that makes the Alps' magnetic sensor. So it should come as no surprise then that it has superior sensitivity, precision and reliability.
This product is living proof of Alps commitment to creating complete sensing solutions.
Capacitive sensor

This pressure sensor fully embodies the capacitive advantages of high sensitivity and power savings of BA level current consumption. Our proprietary thin-film processing technology and precision processing technology are fully incorporated. Built compact for efficacy. Available in wide range of operating temperatures to fit different pressure sensing property changes. Ceramics employed in construction.



Capacitance sensing technology

Improved sensitivity and reliability born from years of know-how acquisition

Alps' GlidePoint(TM) has performed superbly as a pointing device for notebook type PCs. This technology converts the tiny capacitance caused by the movement of the user's finger into coordinates through its proprietary algorism, to realize a harnessable function. We fully exploited our know-how to pursue sensitivity and reliability for the capacitive sensor.
