3M™ MicroTouch™ System SCT3250CX

The Clear Solution for Small Touch Applications (5.7" to 12.1" display sizes)


MicroTouch™ System SCT3250CX

Developed specifically to meet the optical and durability needs of small display applications, the price competitive 3M MicroTouch System SCT3250CX provides superior surface durability and typically 11.5% higher optical transmission than certain 5-wire resistive solutions for device manufacturers requiring more reliable and brighter touch displays.

Based on the 3M™ MicroTouch™ Electronics CX, the system's HID-USB controller offers a reduced component count and slim 0.8" x 1.9" board, making it up to 54% smaller and requiring up to 25% less power compared to certain 5-wire resistive solutions.

All-Glass Solution with 3M ClearTek Hard Coat

  • Up to 11.5% better light transmission than typical resistive solutions offers superior display performance
  • Superior surface durability is designed to maintain optical and functional performance over the life of the product
  • All-glass sensor is unaffected by spacer dots or damaged films to provide increased reliability and accuracy


3M MicroTouch Electronics CX

  • Small form factor for compact devices with limited space
  • Single IC solution minimizes component count and achieves higher MTBF
  • Up to 25% less power consumption for power-constrained applications
