KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module for Arduino

KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module is a small, inexpensive module that can use to detect the tilt of an object. This Mini Tilt Switch Module is a simple switch that closes when the object is tilted to a certain angle. The module consists of a 10kΩ resistor, a metallic ball switch, and 3 male header pins. The ball switch is activated when the object is tilted to a certain angle, which closes the circuit between the two pins.

Tilt Switch Sensor Module can operate with an input voltage of 3.3V to 5V. This means that it can power by a variety of sources, including a USB port, a battery, or an Arduino board. The module will work properly at either voltage, so you can choose the one that is most convenient for your project.

Tilt Switch Module KY-020 works on a simple principle. It has a metallic ball switch inside that is connected to the two output pins. When the object tilted to a certain angle, the ball switch  activated and closes the circuit between the two pins. This triggers the output pin to go high, which can detect by a microcontroller.

The angle at which the ball switch activated depends on the weight of the object and the position of the ball switch inside the module. The heavier the object, the more force is required to activate the ball switch. The position of the ball switch also affects the angle at which it is activated. If the ball switch is closer to one of the output pins, it will be activated at a smaller angle.

The KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module does not measure the angle of tilt. It simply detects whether the object tilted to a certain angle. This means that the module cannot use to determine the exact angle of tilt. However, it can use to detect whether the object tilted in a particular direction, such as up or down.

KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Pin Descriptions :-

KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module, this module in normally open circuit position. It is a sensor module that switches depending on the position of the metal ball inside the tiny box on it. 

The KY-020 Tilt Switch Sensor Module has three male header pins: VCC, GND, and OUT.

• VCC: The VCC pin is connected to the positive voltage supply. The input voltage must be within the range of 3.3V to 5V.
• GND: The GND pin is connected to the negative voltage supply.
• OUT: The OUT pin is the output pin that goes high when the object is tilted. The output voltage is typically 3.3V or 5V, depending on the input voltage.
