Tilt Switches Specifications

Help with Tilt Switches specifications:

Type

	Your choices are...
	Mercury		Mercury drop rolls to make contact with two probes to complete circuit when device reaches a predetermined angle.
	Pendulum		Pendulum or weight in conjunction with a rotary sensor.
	Rolling Ball		Conductive ball within device rolls to make contact with two probes to complete circuit when device reaches a predetermined angle.
	MEMS		Micro-Electro-Mechanical Sensor that senses degree of angle change.
	Capacitive		Half filled with dielectric liquid. In these devices as the angle increases the dielectric liquid comes in more contact with a vertically orientated etched plate. With more or less contact with the etched plate the capacitance changes. This capacitance signal is then converted into an output signal to indicate the degree of angle.
	Electrolytic		These sensors function by using a glass or ceramic cavity filled with an electrically conductive fluid. As the sensor is rotated an imbalance is created between the electrodes. This imbalance of one of the electrodes is proportional to the angle of rotation.

Performance

	Tilt Angle		The range of desired linear output.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Switching Current		Amount of current the switch is rated for.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Switching Voltage		Amount of voltage the switch is rated for.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Accuracy		Number of degrees the device is accurate within.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
	Operating Temperature		The temperature range over which the device must operate.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
	Number of Axes		Number of axes determine the direction of the tilt.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
