SQ-SEN-8XX ON/OFF TILT SENSOR, HORIZONTAL NORMALLY OPEN RoHS compliant, lead-free SMD package DESCRIPTION The SQ-SEN-8xx sensor acts like a position sensitive switch that is normally open when horizontal, and normally closed below the switch angle. It is designed to be non-sensitive to vibration a horizontal orientation. When at rest in a horizontal orientation, the sensor will settle in an open state. When tipped down from vertical to the "switch angle" it will produce continuous on/off contact closures while in motion. When at rest below the switch angle, it will settle normally closed. On / off tilt sensing Normally open when horizontal Normally closed when below the switch angle Non-sensitive to vibration when open Normally closed Ultra low power - As little as 0.25 uA continuous Surface mount device (SMD) - RoHS compliant, lead-free, tape and reel High sensitivity & long life - 99.97% pure gold plating Miniature size - 3.3 mm x 6.9 mm Simple interface - No signal conditioning required Quiet - Undetectable sounds level TV remote control tilt wake-up Screen orientation Security, anti-tamper, anti-theft Normally open Normally open when horizontal Normally closed when past “switch angle” Normally open SWITCH ANGLES Normally closed 15º, 30º, 45º standard Custom angles available Switch Angle Normally open Switch Angle 8XX SERIES The 8xx series is designed to be non-sensitive to vibration when horizontal.

SQ-SEN-8XX ON/OFF TILT SENSOR, HORIZONTAL NORMALLY OPEN THEORY OF OPERATION The SQ-SEN-8xx sensor acts like a position sensitive switch which is normally open in a range of orientations, and a normally closed in another range of orientations. When resting in a normally open orientation, contacts are virtually guaranteed to be open. When resting in the normally closed orientation (unlike normally open) contacts are not guaranteed to be closed. A good rule of thumb is that they will be closed 75% - 99% of the time, when at rest. When in a normally closed orientation, the sensor will chatter...
