Shock & Acceleration Sensor, Single Direction — SQ-ASF

The SQ-ASF sensor is a normally open device. It is designed to be sensitive in a single radial direction, while not closing in other directions. The sensor will trigger radially when acceleration is applied in the direction indicated by the square end rivet. The edge of the rivet without indexing marks indicates the trigger direction.

Functions

• On / off acceleration, shock, impact, and spin detection
