Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this tilt sensor relay module compatible with Arduino?

A: Yes! This 5V/12V 1-channel tilt sensor relay module is fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and most popular microcontroller platforms. Simply connect VCC, GND, and the signal pin, and you're ready to detect tilt and trigger relay outputs in your project.

Q: What is the SW520D ball switch, and how does it work?

A: The SW520D is a gold-plated ball tilt switch that detects changes in orientation or angle. When the module tilts beyond a threshold, the metal ball inside the switch shifts to make or break an electrical contact, which then triggers the relay output — making it perfect for tilt detection, anti-theft, and orientation-sensitive automation circuits.

Q: Can I use this module with a 12V power supply instead of 5V?

A: Absolutely. This module supports both 5V and 12V supply voltages, giving you the flexibility to integrate it into a wide range of electronic projects without needing additional voltage regulators.

Q: What load can the relay output handle?

A: The relay output on this module is rated for currents exceeding 100mA, making it suitable for switching small loads like LEDs, buzzers, motors, and other low-power devices in your DIY circuits.
