Description

The SW-168DZW-9G utilizes a mechanical double-ball design housed within a sealed enclosure. When the sensor is tilted beyond its 10° threshold or subjected to sufficient vibration, the internal balls shift to close the electrical contacts, changing the output state from open (OFF) to closed (ON). This provides a simple, reliable digital signal for tilt or vibration detection.

Engineered for stability, the switch features a closed-circuit resistance of less than 10mΩ and an open-circuit resistance greater than 10MΩ, ensuring clear signal distinction. Its fully sealed construction protects the internal mechanism from moisture and dust, supporting an operational life of up to 100,000 cycles in demanding environments.

Key Features

  • Mechanical Tilt/Vibration Trigger: Reliable double-ball mechanism activates upon tilt exceeding 10° or significant vibration.
  • Low-Power Operation: Compatible with sub-12V DC systems and draws less than 20mA, ideal for battery-powered or low-voltage logic circuits.
  • Fast Response Time: Achieves contact closure within 2ms for immediate system feedback.
  • Sealed Environmental Protection: Waterproof and dustproof housing ensures consistent performance in humid or dirty conditions.
  • High-Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation in environments up to 120°C.
  • Long Operational Life: Durable construction supports up to 100,000 actuation cycles.
  • Clear Electrical State: Provides a definitive ON (low resistance) or OFF (high resistance) signal for easy digital input reading.

Applications

  • Tilt-activated safety cut-off switches in portable industrial equipment.
  • Vibration detection for alarm systems in security or monitoring setups.
  • Orientation sensing in consumer electronics and toys.
  • Position feedback for leveling systems in agricultural or construction machinery.
  • Simple state triggering in DIY electronics and maker projects using Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the actuation angle for this tilt sensor?

The SW-168DZW-9G sensor triggers and closes its internal switch when tilted beyond an angle of approximately 10 degrees from its horizontal resting position. This single-direction sensing is based on the movement of its internal double-ball mechanism.

How do I wire and interface this sensor with an Arduino?

The sensor acts as a simple SPST switch. Connect one wire to your Arduino's digital input pin (e.g., D2) and the other wire to GND. Enable the internal pull-up resistor on that pin in your code. The pin will read HIGH when the sensor is level (open circuit) and LOW when tilted or vibrated (closed circuit). Ensure your power source does not exceed 12V DC.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes, the SW-168DZW-9G features a fully sealed, waterproof, and dustproof housing, making it resistant to moisture and particulate ingress. This allows for reliable operation in outdoor, industrial, or other demanding environments where condensation or dust is present.

What is the difference between a tilt sensor and a vibration sensor in this context?

This device functions as both. Its primary mechanism is a tilt switch activated by a sustained orientation change >10°. However, a Sharp Microelectronics impact or sufficient vibration can also cause the internal balls to move momentarily, closing the contacts. For pure vibration sensing, a mounting orientation where gravity does not hold the balls in place is recommended.
