Description
Product Overview
The uxcell SW-520D Angle Sensor Module combines a high‑sensitivity golden ball switch with a compact PCB layout to deliver precise tilt detection in a small form factor. Designed for both hobbyist and professional environments, the module operates on a wide voltage range of 3.3 to 5 V, providing a clean digital output that toggles between logical 0 and 1. Its robust construction, featuring a metal‑clad board and reinforced bolt holes, ensures long‑term durability even in vibration‑prone applications.
Each package contains five identical sensor units, allowing developers to prototype multiple circuits or create redundant sensing arrays. The module’s output can source up to 15 mA, making it compatible with a variety of microcontrollers, logic gates, and relay drivers without the need for additional amplification stages. The integrated LM393 comparator further stabilizes the signal, reducing noise and false triggering.
Usage
In robotics, the SW‑520D can be mounted on robot arms or chassis to monitor orientation changes, enabling automatic balance correction or safety shutdowns when a critical tilt is reached. For DIY electronics enthusiasts, the module serves as an ideal component for building tilt‑activated switches, motion‑sensitive lights, or simple game controllers that respond to physical movement.
Industrial applications benefit from the module’s reliable performance in monitoring conveyor belts, valve positions, or machinery tilt angles. Its low power consumption and straightforward digital interface make it easy to integrate into PLC systems or remote monitoring stations. The fixed bolt holes simplify mounting on metal panels, plastic enclosures, or custom‑fabricated brackets.

FAQ
What is the recommended voltage range for the sensor?
The module is designed to operate safely between 3.3 V and 5 V, providing optimal performance across this range. Supplying voltage outside of these limits may affect output stability.
Can the sensor be used with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino?
Yes, the digital output can be directly connected to any GPIO pin on a Raspberry Pi or Arduino. No additional level‑shifting circuitry is required when operating within the specified voltage range.
How does the golden ball switch improve reliability?
The golden ball switch offers low contact resistance and high durability, reducing wear over time. Its design ensures consistent actuation points, which translates to accurate tilt detection even after thousands of cycles.
Is the module suitable for harsh industrial environments?
While the module is built with a sturdy PCB and reinforced mounting holes, it is best used in environments where temperature and humidity stay within typical electronic component specifications (‑40 °C to 85 °C, 85 % RH). For extreme conditions, additional protective enclosures are recommended.
