Impact Collision Switch Sensor Module - Vibration Detection
Impact Collision Switch Sensor Module with Digital Output
This impact collision switch sensor module detects vibration, tilt, or physical impact with high sensitivity. It outputs a clean digital signal when a collision is detected, making it perfect for building interactive projects. The onboard potentiometer allows you to fine-tune the trigger threshold, enabling precise control over what qualifies as an impact event.

Compatibility
This module works seamlessly with any microcontroller or single-board computer that supports digital inputs, including Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. The output is 3.3V-tolerant even when powered at 5V, so it is safe for 3.3V logic boards. Common pairings include Arduino for rapid prototyping and Raspberry Pi for IoT vibration monitoring.
Wiring Notes
Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V, GND to ground, and the DO (digital output) pin to any digital I/O pin on your microcontroller. The module includes a built-in pull-up resistor, so no external components are required. For best results, mount the sensor firmly to the surface you want to monitor. Adjust the potentiometer clockwise to increase sensitivity until the desired trigger point is reached.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi?
Yes, it is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi. The module works at 3.3V logic levels when powered from the Pi's 3.3V pin, and the digital output is safe to connect directly to a GPIO pin.
Can I adjust the sensitivity?
Yes, the onboard potentiometer lets you set the threshold from a light tap to a harder impact. Clockwise rotation increases sensitivity, making it respond to smaller vibrations.
Does it output an analog signal?
No, this module provides only a digital high/low output. For analog vibration data, consider a piezo vibration sensor with dedicated ADC, but this module is ideal for simple collision detection projects.
