Addict Technologies will soon release a two wires
tilt switch. This sensor is an inclinometer interfacing the outside world
with only two wires. The TW Series offers one
open collect output
that is angle activated. Depending on the part
number, output is activated, when a specific
angle is reach. It
offers performance comparable to traditional tilt
sensor but at a lower cost.
Principle of operation:
| The two wires tilt sensor is
connected directly on the wire of circuit it
is to control. If the measured angle is lower
than the sensor threshold, the circuit is
opened. If it is measured higher, the circuit
is then closed. |
|
Target
applications range from detecting hood and trunk
opening on vehicles to activation of alarms when
something is measured at a given angle. By its small
size, the two wires tilt switch can be used almost
anywhere.
Sensor features are:
-
Lowest pin count possible.
-
Wide
Voltage Range: 4V to 60V.
-
Support
up to 1A of continuous current.
-
Many
angle threshold available.
-
Small size (52.4mm
x 21.6mm x 12.7mm).
Final information will soon be available.
