Description

This module integrates the SW-18015P vibration switch, a normally-open electromechanical component. At rest, the internal conductive pins are separated, presenting an open (OFF) circuit. When subjected to sufficient vibration, shock, or centrifugal force, the pins momentarily connect, closing the circuit and generating a digital ON signal. The switch returns to its open state once the external force ceases.

The module includes a pull-up resistor and a signal conditioning circuit, providing a stable digital logic output directly compatible with microcontroller GPIO pins. Its sensitivity is inherent to the mechanical design of the SW-18015P component, making it a reliable, non-directional trigger for basic impact, motion, or tilt detection in DIY electronics and prototyping applications.

Key Features

  • Omnidirectional Mechanical Switch: Detects vibration or shock from any spatial orientation without complex calibration.
  • Simple Digital Interface: Outputs a straightforward HIGH/LOW signal for immediate integration with Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi.
  • Broad Voltage Compatibility: Operates from 3.3V to 12V DC, accommodating both 5V Arduino and 3.3V logic systems.
  • Compact and Lightweight Build: Minimalist PCB design with a low-profile form factor for versatile mounting.
  • Durable Component Construction: The SW-18015P switch is designed for repeated mechanical actuation in low-current circuits.
  • Direct Pin Header Connection: Standard 3-pin header (GND, VCC, SIG) simplifies wiring and breadboard prototyping.

Applications

  • Simple Security & Alarm Systems: Detecting unauthorized movement or tampering of enclosures, doors, or equipment.
  • DIY Impact Detection: Monitoring for knocks, drops, or collisions in robotics, vehicles, or interactive installations.
  • Tilt & Orientation Sensing: Basic non-directional trigger for tilt-activated mechanisms or educational projects.
  • Vibration Logging: Recording operational events or usage patterns in machinery prototypes or consumer devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for this vibration sensor module?

The module is designed to operate across a wide DC voltage range from 3.3V to 12V. This makes it compatible with standard 5V Arduino boards as well as 3.3V logic systems like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi. Ensure your power supply provides a stable voltage within this range.

How do I connect this module to an Arduino?

Connect the module's three pins to your Arduino: GND to GND, VCC to 5V (or 3.3V), and the SIG (signal) pin to any digital input pin (e.g., pin 10). The output is active-LOW, meaning the pin will read LOW when vibration is detected. You may need to enable the internal pull-up resistor on your Arduino's input pin.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the vibration detection?

No, the sensitivity is fixed by the internal mechanical design of the SW-18015P spring-based switch. The trigger point is determined by the physical mass and spring tension. For adjustable sensitivity, you would require a different sensor type, such as a piezoelectric or MEMS-based accelerometer.

Is this sensor suitable for detecting continuous vibration?

No, this is a simple switch designed for momentary event detection, like a single shock, knock, or tilt. It outputs a brief pulse when triggered. It is not capable of measuring vibration frequency or amplitude. For continuous vibration analysis, a true analog or digital accelerometer module is required.
