Tilt Switch

img_tilt

The tilt switch used here is a ball-type switch containing a metal ball inside. It is designed to detect small angular inclinations.

Working Principle

The operation of the tilt switch is straightforward: - When the switch is tilted at a certain angle, the metal ball inside rolls and makes contact with two terminals, completing the circuit and triggering the connected system. - When the switch is not tilted, the ball remains away from the contacts, breaking the circuit and leaving it inactive.

This simple yet effective mechanism makes the tilt switch ideal for detecting changes in orientation or inclination. img_tilt_symbol
