The SOUSHINE NH001 is a thin-film pressure sensor designed for seat occupancy detection in automotive and smart furniture systems. It provides a digital contact switch output upon pressure detection, compatible with 5V logic systems like automotive ECUs and microcontroller-based safety circuits.

Features

  • Designed for seat belt reminder systems, triggering a warning light or chime for unbuckled passengers.
  • Detects pressure from 150 grams up to 500 kg, suitable for both front and rear seat occupancy sensing.
  • Features a fast 7 ms response time for immediate system activation upon seat contact.
  • Constructed with a durable sponge and steel base housed in a plastic casing for long-term reliability.
  • Includes a 40 cm cable for simplified installation and integration into vehicle wiring harnesses.

Description

The SOUSHINE NH001 operates as a threshold-based contact switch, activating when pressure within its 150 g to 500 kg range is applied to the seat surface. This change in state is used to signal a vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU) or other monitoring systems, primarily for occupant safety features.

Engineered for automotive environments, the sensor maintains stable operation across a temperature range of -20°C to 80°C. Its robust construction, combining a flexible sponge interface with a rigid steel base, ensures consistent performance and durability under repeated loading cycles typical in seating applications.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity thin-film pressure sensor with a wide detection range from 150 grams to 500 kg.
  • Fast 7 ms response time ensures immediate activation for real-time safety system feedback.
  • Robust hybrid construction featuring a pressure-sensitive sponge layer on a rigid steel support base.
  • Plastic housing provides environmental protection and facilitates secure mounting within seat assemblies.
  • Low-voltage operation (<5V DC) ensures compatibility with standard automotive and microcontroller power supplies.
  • Integrated 40 cm cable simplifies wiring and connection to vehicle harnesses or control modules.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume automotive and furniture manufacturing.

Applications

  • Automotive seat belt reminder and passenger detection systems for enhanced safety compliance.
  • Smart furniture and office chairs for occupancy-based lighting or climate control activation.
  • Patient monitoring in healthcare settings to detect presence in beds or wheelchairs.
  • Conference room and auditorium seating for occupancy analytics and energy management.
  • Weight-triggered security or alert systems in specialized industrial seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the SOUSHINE NH001 sensor?

The SOUSHINE NH001 is designed to operate at a low voltage of less than 5V DC. This makes it directly compatible with standard automotive electrical systems and common 3.3V or 5V microcontroller boards like Arduino or Raspberry Pi for prototyping and integration.

How does the NH001 sensor connect and what is its output signal?

The sensor acts as a digital contact switch. It includes a 40 cm cable for connection. When the applied pressure exceeds the lower threshold (150g), the internal switch closes, providing a simple on/off signal to the connected control unit, such as a vehicle's ECU or a microcontroller's digital input pin.

Can this sensor be used for weight measurement or just presence detection?

The NH001 is primarily designed for threshold-based occupancy detection, not for precise weight measurement. It reliably detects the presence or absence of a person (or object) within its 150g to 500kg range, making it ideal for triggering seat belt reminders, occupancy lights, or other binary state systems.

What is the recommended mounting method for this pressure sensor?

For optimal performance, the sensor should be placed flat between the seat cushion and the seat frame or support structure. The included 40 cm cable allows for flexible routing. Ensure the sensing area is not obstructed and that wiring is secured away from pinch points or moving parts.
