Grove – Tilt Switch

The Grove-Tilt Switch is the equivalent of a button, base on SW-200D, which is a two balls type single direction tilt sensitive trigger switch. It is used as a digital input. Inside the tilt switch is a pair of balls that make contact with the pins when the case is upright. Tilt the case over and the balls don’t touch, thus not making a connection. It is wired to the SIG line, NC is not used on this Grove.

How does the SW-200D work？

When the products tilt to the conductive terminal (silver-feet pin end A) and the tilt angle more than 10degree, it will be a opened circuit ”OFF-stated” . When the products of horizontal placed tilt change, the trigger terminal (gold-feet pin end C) is below the horizontal tilt angle and more than 10degree, It will be a closed circuit “ON-stated”.
