I built another LED lamp and wanted to use a TTP223 capacitive switch as usual. But Led Stripes have 12V and there was my problem again, the available TTP223 boards are 3-5V and have only a small switching current. Besides, I don’t need the LED on the board. So I've build my own

A 5-12V Capacitive Touch Switch based on a TTP223
I think the video explains it all :)

So I built a prototype with what I had lying around.
1 TTP223
1 Zener Dioder 5.1V
1 2k2 Resistor
1 1k5 Resistor
1 BD137 Transistor

PCB Design
First the schematic. I also included a flyback diode in the design, so you can also directly control a relay. The TTP223 chip has the same components as on the small original board. As on that, the 22pf capacitor is optional and is used to control the sensitivity of the touch controller. An FMMT617-625 comes into play as the transitor. You can also use another one. However, according to the data sheet, this one delivers 18V 3A. But I won’t go over 2.5A, just to be on the safe side :)
