In stockThe Story
The SW520D Roller Ball Tilt Switch is a simple motion or orientation sensor that uses a brass housing encased in shrink tubing to prevent short circuits. When the sensor is oriented with leads facing downward, a metal ball rolls onto the poles, completing the circuit. Ideal for basic tilt detection applications, this switch offers a contact rating of 12V and operates at angles between 30-90 degrees from horizontal.
