Introduction
This guide is designed to assist you in selecting the most appropriate tilt sensor based on the part number structure. Understanding the part number will enable you to quickly identify the key features of the tilt sensor that best meet your requirements.
Part Number Structure Explanation
Accuracy
The first digit after "TS" represents the accuracy of the tilt sensor. In the example "TS 2312 R01", the digit "2" indicates an accuracy of 0.2 degrees (see table for details). Higher number implies better accuracy.
Resolution
The second digit denotes the resolution. In our example, "3" means a resolution of 0.02 degrees. Higher number means a more refined resolution, which is beneficial for applications that require very detailed tilt data, like in some medical equipment or high - precision industrial machinery.
Axis Number
The third digit indicates the number of axes the sensor can measure. In "TS 2312 R01", "1" represents a single - axis tilt sensor. If your application requires measuring tilt in multiple directions, you may need a sensor with a higher axis number. For example, a "2" would indicate a dual - axis sensor capable of measuring tilt in two perpendicular directions.
Product Group
The fourth digit is related to the product group which is used for Analog internal tracking purpose.
Rugged Indicator
The letter "R" in the part number stands for "Rugged". This indicates that the tilt sensor is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. If your application involves exposure to extreme temperatures, vibrations, or moisture, a sensor with the "R" designation is more suitable. “P” means PCBA only.
Output Mode
The last two digits specify the output mode. In "TS 2312 R01", "01" represents the CAN (Controller Area Network) output mode. Other output modes may include analog voltage output etc. (See table for details).
