SAN DIEGO, CA, December 7, 2018

Visual Communications Company (VCC), a recognized global leader in the illuminated electronics market with advanced indication and specialty illumination solutions, has won a prestigious 2018 Elektra Award for its CSM Series. After making the shortlist for the second year in a row, VCC took home the honor in an awards ceremony in London on Wednesday, December 5, 2018.

In a decision made by a panel of industry experts, VCC’s CSM Series beat four other finalists in the “Passive and Electromechanical Product of the Year” category. The CSM Series capacitive touch LED sensor displays deliver a host of benefits, most notable are their small size and high reliability. These sensors measure only 15mm x 15mm x 3.20 mm virtually eliminate the size constraints OEMs and designers would face when designing sleek human-machine interfaces.  

VCC’s second generation of capacitive touch LED sensors, the CSM Series packs a smaller footprint, plus the manufacturing efficiencies found only in surface-mount technology (SMT).

From reducing the total weight of the assembly to taking up to one-half of the space on the PCB and enabling higher density connections, the CSM Series has a lot more to offer than consistent illumination.

The award-winning series enhances human-machine communication in many ways, including:

• Capacitive touch sensors that can work with a gloved or damp hand
• Customizable or standard icons for improved visual communication
• Available in a variety of colors: super red, white, pure green, blue and yellow

The CSM Series launched in February of 2018 and is available through VCC’s distribution channels. Learn more here: https://vcclite.com/product-category/led-displays/capacitive-touch-led-display/.
