What is a Panel Mount Touch Screen?

A panel mount touch screen is a type of display technology integrated into a flat panel allowing for surface-level installation within a control panel. Characterized by its flush or near-flush mounting style, it enables easy interaction and robust integration into existing equipment and fixtures.

Features and Specifications

Panel mount touch screens offer numerous features tailored for demanding environments:

• Durability: Often equipped with hardened glass or industrial-grade materials to withstand harsh conditions.
• Wide temperature range: Capable of operating between -20°C to 70°C.
• Display sizes: Available from as small as 7 inches up to 24 inches or more.
• Resistive or capacitive touch technology: Choosing between precision (resistive) and multi-touch capability (capacitive).
• Ingress Protection (IP) ratings: Commonly rated at IP65 or higher to ensure dust and water resistance.
• Brightness: Brightness can range from 250 to 1000 nits, ensuring visibility in various lighting conditions.
