| 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. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

| ||
| 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. | ||
