The SW-420 Vibration Sensor Module is a low-cost sensor used to detect vibration, movement, or shocks in a surface or device. Itβs commonly used in security alarms, motion detection, and smart electronics projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP boards.
πΉ Key Features:
Sensor Type: SW-420 vibration sensor (spring-type)
Operating Voltage: 3.3V β 5V DC
Output Type: Digital (HIGH/LOW) signal
Sensitivity: Adjustable via onboard potentiometer
Indicator LEDs:
Power LED β shows module is powered
Signal LED β turns on when vibration is detected
Size: Compact, easy to integrate in DIY projects
πΉ Working Principle:
Inside the SW-420 sensor is a small spring and a metal contact.
When there is vibration, shock, or movement, the spring makes contact, generating a signal.
The onboard LM393 comparator IC processes this signal.
If vibration exceeds the set threshold:
Digital Output (D0) β HIGH (1)
Otherwise β LOW (0)
πΉ Pinout:
VCC β 3.3V β 5V supply
GND β Ground
DO β Digital output (to microcontroller input pin)
πΉ Applications:
Burglar/security alarm systems (detecting knocks, vibrations, or tampering).
Earthquake/structural monitoring (basic vibration sensing).
Motor vibration monitoring in machines.
Interactive projects (tap-controlled devices).
Smart door knock detector with Arduino.
