Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present technology is generally directed to a prosthetic digit usable with capacitive panels. The digit includes a proximal body removably couplable to a residuum of a user, an intermediate body pivotably coupled to the proximal body via a first fastener, a distal body pivotably coupled to the intermediate body via a second fastener, a first bearing capacitively coupled to the first fastener, and a second bearing capacitively coupled to the second fastener. The digit further includes a first conductive epoxy portion coupled between the first and second bearings, and a second conductive epoxy portion coupled between the second fastener and the distal body. The first and second conductive epoxy portions provide a low impedance, capacitive coupling pathway between the capacitive panel and the residuum of the user.
