- High-sensitivity spring switch for reliable vibration detection
- Non-directional trigger—activates at any angle
- Operates up to 12 V DC and handles currents up to 50 mA
- Built-in comparator output delivers a clean, stable waveform
- Compact, PCB-mountable design for easy integration
- Fast shipping from Zbotic across India
Applications and Use Cases
- Anti-theft alarms that trigger on tampering or impact
- Fall-prevention switches in air conditioners and blowers
- Vibration monitoring in automotive devices and power tools
- Motion activation in electronic toys and sports equipment
- Load detection in digital scales and measurement instruments
- Vibration feedback in home appliances and communication devices
How to Use SW-18020P Vibration Sensor
Mount the SW-18020P on a stable surface near the vibration source, connect VCC to a 5–12 V supply and GND to system ground. Tie the output pin to a digital input on your microcontroller or alarm circuit with a pull-down resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ) to read switch closures as logic HIGH signals when vibration occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage and current can the SW-18020P handle?
The SW-18020P operates on a DC supply up to 12 V and is rated for a maximum switching current of 50 mA, making it suitable for low-power electronics and alarm circuits.
How do I interface the sensor output with an Arduino?
Connect the sensor’s VCC pin to the Arduino 5 V rail, GND to ground, and the output pin to a digital input. Use a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor between the output and ground to ensure a defined LOW state when no vibration is present.
Can the SW-18020P be used outdoors?
While the SW-18020P is designed for indoor electronic applications, you can use it outdoors if placed inside a protective enclosure that prevents moisture and dust from entering the sensor housing.
