Vibration Sensor

Price

R30,00

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
  • Vibration-triggered photography and video recording
  • Machine vibration fault monitoring
  • Security alarm triggers for doors and windows

🔹 Why Choose This Module?

  • SW-420 tilt/vibration switch — robust and reliable
  • Adjustable sensitivity threshold — tune to your sensitivity needs
  • Digital output — clean HIGH/LOW signal, no ADC needed
  • LED indicator — visual confirmation of vibration detection
  • 3.3 V and 5 V compatible — universal MCU compatibility

🔹 Technical Specifications

  • Sensor: SW-420 vibration switch
  • Output: Digital (D0)
  • Operating Voltage: 3.3 V – 5 V DC
  • Sensitivity: Adjustable via potentiometer
  • Indicator: LED on detection

🔹 What's Included

1 × SW-420 Vibration Sensor Module

🔹 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.
