Adafruit Fast Vibration Sensor Switch (Easy to trigger)

The "poor man's" accelerometer or motion sensor offers high sensitivity in a non-directional vibration-induced trigger mechanism. This simple yet effective switch comprises a soft spring coiled around a long metal pin, enabling it to detect motion with ease.

When motion occurs, the spring contacts the center pole, closing the switch, while stillness leaves it open. Ideal for basic projects and wearables, it seamlessly integrates into numerous applications such as motion-activated alarms or step counters on wearable devices.

Our product line includes variations with springs of differing stiffness levels, allowing additional customization for sensitivity tailored to specific applications. Whether your project requires subtle motion detection or resistance to minor movement, the options available enhance versatility and precision.
