Piezo Vibration Sensor Large with Mass.jpg

This basic piezo sensor is often used for flex, touch, vibration and shock measurements. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back and forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch. Comes with solderable crimp pins and a weight attached to the tip. This weight increases the sensitivity to motion.
