Capacitance probes are a compelling choice for both solids and liquid switching applications. They function by creating a low-voltage, high-frequency signal along the probe, creating a small current flow between the probe tip and the ground plane. As the level of the measured material comes into contact with the probe, this alters the capacitance measurement between probe and ground plane, which triggers an alert for the user..
