Unique-Bargains SW-460D Vibration Sensor 5V 10mA 10Pcs

SKU CH-11M3-T9QEP

Pack of ten sealed SW-460D vibration switches rated 5V 10mA for tilt and shake detection in alarms, toys and small circuits

  • TypeSwitches
  • Triggers alarms with vibration detection using SW-460D switch
  • Operates reliably at 5V with 10mA rated current
  • Sealed construction resists water and dust ingress
  • Functions up to 70℃ with 2000M ohm insulation
  • Pack of 10 suits multiple security installations

What the sensor does and who uses it

The SW-460D is a sealed metal-ball tilt switch that closes a circuit when tilted beyond ten degrees or shaken while horizontal. It operates at up to 5V and 10mA, making it suitable for low-current trigger circuits in toys, alarms, shoe lights and similar electronic projects. The pack contains ten pieces for prototyping or small production runs.

Behaviour under sustained load

The switch is rated for a maximum thermal current of 10mA and an insulation resistance of 2000M ohm, so it maintains reliable contact without degradation during continuous low-power operation. Its single-direction trigger logic stays consistent as long as the supply voltage remains within the 5V limit and the ambient temperature stays below the rated maximum.

Thermals noise and power draw

The device produces no audible noise and draws only the switched load current up to 10mA at 5V. It withstands operating temperatures up to 70℃ and 80 percent humidity, while the sealed body measuring 12.5mm by 4.8mm with gold-plated 19mm pins and silver-plated 12mm pins resists dust and water ingress in normal use.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the SW-460D withstand while running continuously in an enclosure?

The sensor is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 70°C, so it will tolerate the heat inside most sealed project boxes without degradation.

What voltage source and current-limiting parts do I need to use these switches safely?

Each switch works at up to 5 V and draws only 10 mA, so a standard 5 V logic supply or microcontroller pin with a series resistor is sufficient.

Will the gold-plated pins fit the same 0.6 mm holes as the silver pins on my existing proto board?

Both pin types share a 0.6 mm diameter, so they occupy identical footprints on perfboard or breadboard sockets.
