Product type
A shock sensor is a device designed to detect sudden impacts or vibrations, typically used in security systems and industrial applications. These sensors work by measuring changes in acceleration or vibration levels and can trigger alarms or notifications when a threshold is exceeded. Shock sensors are commonly made from piezoelectric materials or MEMS technology, allowing for precise detection of disturbances.
| Detection type | Vibration or impact detection |
| Output type | Analog or digital signal |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to 85°C |
| Power supply | Typically 5V to 12V DC |
| Sensitivity levels | Adjustable sensitivity settings |
| Mounting type | Surface mount or through-hole |
When selecting a shock sensor, consider the sensitivity level required for your application, as different environments may necessitate varying thresholds for impact detection. It's also important to specify the operating temperature range and output type to ensure compatibility with your existing systems. Additionally, inquire about certifications and compliance with industry standards if applicable.
