Vibration Sensor

The SW-420 vibration sensor module detects vibrations, shocks, and movement — outputting a digital signal the instant disturbance is detected. With adjustable sensitivity and a simple 3-pin interface, it's the easiest way to add impact or tamper detection to any project without complex signal processing.

🔹 Key Applications

• Anti-tamper alarms for enclosures and equipment
• Earthquake early warning systems
• Vehicle impact and collision detection

🔹 Pro Tip

💡 Mount rigidly to the surface you want to monitor — loose mounting causes false triggers. Adjust the potentiometer to maximum sensitivity, then back off slowly until false triggers stop. For security applications, combine with a 555 timer latch circuit so a brief vibration triggers a sustained alarm output.

⚠️ Note: Always ensure proper heat dissipation and correct voltage configuration before powering connected devices.
