High sensitivity vibration sensor offers simple installation

The TE Connectivity MiniSense 100NM is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor providing moderate sensitivity over a useful frequency band up to 200Hz. The device is available now from TTI Europe.

The pins are created for simple installation and are solderable. Horizontal and vertical mounting options are available. The active sensor area is shielded for enhanced RFI/EMI rejection. The rugged, flexible PVDF sensing element withstands high shock overload. The sensor has outstanding linearity and dynamic range and can be employed for detecting either continuous vibration or impacts.

The device is ideal for low-cost vibration sensing, car alarms, body movement, medical applications, and security systems.
