SW-18020P Vibration Switch - Shake Switch Pack 10

SW-18020P Vibration Sensor

Sensitive and Reliable

The SW-18020P Vibration Sensor is a simple yet effective device designed to detect and respond to vibrations. It's widely used in electronics toys, alarms, home appliances, and various other electronic applications.

Key Features:

• Spring-Type Design: Ensures consistent and reliable vibration detection
• Non-Directional Triggering: Activates from any angle, providing flexibility in your projects
• Sealed Construction: The "P" marking indicates a completely airtight design for durability
• Adjustable Sensitivity: Choose from different models to match your specific application
• Long Lifespan: Rated for up to 200,000 cycles of operation
• Easy to Integrate: Simple connection and straightforward usage

How it Works:

The sensor operates on a normally open circuit. When it detects a vibration, the circuit closes momentarily, and then returns to its open state. This makes it ideal for applications that require a quick response to motion or impact.

Applications:

• Electronics Toys: Create interactive and responsive toys
• Home Security: Implement anti-theft alarms and intrusion detection
• Home Appliances: Enable automatic power-off functions and safety features
• Industrial Automation: Monitor equipment vibration for maintenance and safety
• Communication Devices: Detect motion or impact for various purposes
