KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module Metal Ball | Robochacha Pakistan

Makers choose the KY-020 Tilt Switch Module when safety and simplicity are the top priorities. Unlike older mercury-based sensors, this module uses a tiny metallic ball housed in a small tube. Specifically, when the sensor reaches a certain angle, the ball rolls and completes the circuit between two pins. Therefore, it acts as a digital “ON/OFF” trigger for your code. Furthermore, the module includes a built-in 10kΩ resistor. As a result, you can connect it directly to your microcontroller without needing any external pull-up resistors.

Additionally, this sensor is extremely durable and vibration-resistant. Consequently, it is widely used in smart toys, digital dice, and anti-theft systems for portable equipment. Because of this, the KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is the best choice for student-friendly robotics kits in Pakistan.

Key Features ✨

• Mercury-Free Design: The module uses a metal ball mechanism. Specifically, this makes it safe for use in classrooms and environments where hazardous materials are restricted.

• Plug-and-Play Interface: It features a standard 3-pin G-V-S layout. Therefore, it is fully compatible with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi sensor shields.

• Integrated 10k Resistor: The board includes all necessary components for a stable signal. Consequently, you save space on your breadboard and reduce wiring complexity.

• High Sensitivity: The sensor detects even moderate changes in tilt (approx. 35 degrees). As a result, it provides a fast response for motion-activated triggers.

• Compact PCB: In addition, its small size allows it to fit into tight spaces. Specifically, this is perfect for mounting on robot arms or inside custom 3D-printed cases.
