Principle

This tilt switch is a digital module based on the internal steel ball. When the switch tilts by external force, the ball will roll to the lower side under gravity and the normally-closed contact will disconnect; when it returns to keep horizontal, the ball will roll to the initial position and the contact will connect again. Also, you can use it just as a tilt sensor.

Other Supplementary Information

The sensor can be used with Arduino and micro:bit Sensor Expansion Shield to make amazing interactive projects. And it has higher security than mercury switches.

The switch can be turned on or off by controlling the its tilt.

When it is placed horizontally, it outputs low; when it tilts, output high.
