SQ-SEN-5XX and 8XX

RoHS compliant, lead-free SMD package

Patented.  US 7326866, 7067748, 7326867.  Patents pending.

Description

The SQ-SEN-5XX and 8XX series act like a position sensitive switch that is normally open when horizontal, and normally closed below the switch angle. They are designed to be non-sensitive to vibration in their horizontal positions. When at rest in a horizontal position, the sensor will settle in an open state. When tipped down from vertical to the "switch angle" it will produce continuous on/off contact closures while in motion. When at rest below the switch angle, it will settle normally closed.

Function

• On / off tilt sensing
• Normally open when horizontal
• Normally closed when below the switch angle
• Non-sensitive to vibration when open
• Series 5xx - accurate switch angle, low hysteresis
• Series 8xx - damp, resistant to vibration when closed

Features

• Ultra low power - As little as 0.25 μA
• Surface mount device (SMD) - RoHS compliant, lead-free, tape and reel
• High sensitivity & long life - 99.9% pure gold plating
• Miniature size - 3.3 mm x 6.9 mm
• Simple interface - No signal conditioning required
• Quiet - Undetectable sounds level

Applications

• TV remote control tilt wake-up
• Screen orientation
• Security, anti-tamper, anti-theft
