The KY-020 Tilt Switch Module is a compact orientation-sensing component ideal for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontroller platforms. Built around a ball-type tilt switch, the module detects changes in physical orientation by registering when an internal conductive ball rolls to complete or break an electrical circuit — producing a clean digital output signal in response.
This straightforward yet effective sensing mechanism makes the KY-020 perfect for applications such as tilt-triggered alarms, orientation-aware robotics, electronic levelling tools, automatic display rotation projects, and safety cut-off systems. The three-pin interface (Signal, VCC, GND) enables direct connection to sensor shields and breadboards without any additional components.
An onboard resistor provides stable signal output straight out of the box, removing the need for external pull-up resistors and simplifying your circuit design. Lightweight, low-power, and easy to integrate, the KY-020 is an essential addition to any maker’s component collection.
