What is this component?

Guest
Hi All,

http://imajr.com/mystery_component_142530


I'm trying to figure what this component is and where I could get some
of them.

It makes a sound when it's shaken as if there's a small bit loose
inside, I think it's probably a motion sensor of some kind.

Any thoughts?

Could this be a tilt switch? Did the board come out of an arcade game?

It came out of a GPS / Bluetooth reciever, I think it's a motion/
vibration sensor of some sort, to save battery, ie when it hasn't
moved for a certain amount of time the unit will shut off. It probably
generates a closed circuit when the ball(or whatever) inside moves and
touches off 2 different terminals.

Can't seem to find any examples of them on the web though.

A lot of this stuff is custom made in Asia. In that case it would be
next to impossible to find a datasheet.

You say "probably". If the device just consists of four terminals and
a rolling ball, then surely it wouldn't be too hard to confirm this
with a multimeter?

Can't seem to find any examples of them on the web though.

I searched for "rolling ball" and "motion sensor" and found this:

I find the references to "test circus" and "rang of pin" a bit of a
worry, though. :)

Far more disturbing is the picture of two cloyingly sweet adlanders posing
inanely in the picture on that site. Is the Western love affair with folksy
advertising for EVERY last little thing so grossly out of hand that we are
seen by China and the far east as shown in that ghastly parody? If so, it's
time it stopped. I don't mean them. I mean us. Pass the sickbag, please.

I find that Chinese web sites have an annoying preoccupation with
Flash. They need to understand that visitors come looking for
information, not entertainment. Or have I got it wrong?

No. Although, if the pictures are informative it can help. Language is
often a problem even where translations exist. Pictures and tables of data
are usually like music in their ability to cross borders and language
barriers. Can always do those with GIF's HTML, and JavaScript though.

I's a Polyfuse (AKA Polyswitch, multifuse) - a self-resettiing fuse.

Hi, Mike
From the wordings on the component, it is likely be a fuse rather than a
Metal Oxide Varistor.
Let me see if it conducts at low current first.
Thank you for your information.
