What is a vibration switch?

The correct name of a vibration switch should be called a vibration sensor, which is an electronic switch that senses the magnitude of the vibration force, transmits the sensing result to the circuit device, and starts the circuit. Some people call it a vibration switch, and some people call it a vibrating switch or a shaking switch. In fact, these names are not entirely correct.

The conductive vibration spring and the trigger pin are accurately placed in the body of the switch and solidified and positioned. The spring and the trigger pin are non-conductive when they are not normally vibrated. After vibration, the spring jitters and touches the trigger pin to be energized Generate a trigger signal.

Vibration switches are divided into spring switches and ball switches. In fact, strictly speaking, vibration switches should simply refer to spring switches, not including ball switches. The names of sliding switches, shaking switches, etc. should all refer to ball switches. For convenience, the industry generally refers to the two categories of spring switches and ball switches as vibration switches. Both types of switches have two more important index characteristics, sensitivity and directionality. The sensitivity of the spring switch refers to different products. In the actual device, there will be differences due to the magnitude of the induced vibration force. This difference is called sensitivity. Because of the needs of different products, users choose vibration switches with different inductive vibration forces to meet the sensitivity of their products.

Vibration switches are mainly used in electronic toys, small household appliances, sports equipment, and various anti-theft devices. The vibration switch has become an indispensable electronic component in many electronic products because of its flexible and sensitive triggering.
