Applications
The CW1300-1 tilt switch is used in orientation-sensitive consumer devices such as alarm systems, anti-theft panels, and power-saving displays that must turn off when tilted beyond 15 degrees. It is also deployed in industrial equipment as a safety interlock, cutting power when machinery reaches an unsafe inclination. Its non-mercury design makes it a compliant drop-in replacement for older mercury tilt switches in portable instruments and toys.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what tilt angle does the CW1300-1 switch activate, and what are its electrical ratings?
The CW1300-1 activates at a 15-degree tilt angle and is rated for a maximum switching current of 0.25 A at up to 60 V. These ratings allow it to directly drive small relays, indicator LEDs, and low-power logic circuits without additional buffering, making system integration straightforward for orientation-sensing applications.
Why should engineers choose the CW1300-1 over mercury-based tilt switches in new designs?
The CW1300-1 uses non-mercury internal contacts, making it fully RoHS-compliant and safe for disposal without hazardous-material handling. Compared to mercury tilt switches rated at similar 0.25 A / 60 V levels, the CW1300-1 eliminates regulatory risk in consumer products sold in the EU and other markets that ban mercury, while maintaining equivalent switching reliability at the 15-degree activation angle.
In which industrial or consumer applications is the CW1300-1 tilt switch most commonly used?
The CW1300-1 is commonly used in burglar alarm systems as a tamper-detection sensor, consumer appliances that must cut power when tilted beyond 15 degrees, and battery-powered toys requiring orientation detection. In industrial settings it serves as a safety interlock for equipment that must shut down at unsafe inclinations, protecting motors or actuators rated up to 60 V from damage due to improper positioning.
