Electrolytic Tilt Sensors

Electrolytic Tilt Sensors are non-signal conditioned sensing elements. Geared toward the OEM market place, and available in full scale ranges from +/-0.25 degrees to +/-80 degrees, these sensors are capable of satisfying even the most demanding applications. Three series are available, including single and dual axis versions (dual axis version PC board mountable), in both glass and ceramic construction.
