Tilt Switch Module KY020

35.00 EGP

 

The KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is a simple ball-in-cage tilt sensor that detects orientation changes. When tilted beyond a threshold angle, it triggers a digital signal (HIGH/LOW), making it ideal for position detection, anti-theft alarms, and motion-activated projects.

This module includes a comparator circuit (LM393) for clean signal output and works with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi.
