SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a bike alarm circuit that requires a tilt switch functioning as a push-to-break switch. A suggested alternative is a mercury switch, which can serve as a movement alarm. Mercury switches consist of a small glass tube containing mercury, allowing for wiring configurations as either tilt-to-close or tilt-to-open. A specific ON-(off) switch was recommended from an external site for this application.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic electronic components, specifically switches.
  • Familiarity with circuit design for alarm systems.
  • Knowledge of mercury switch functionality and applications.
  • Basic wiring techniques for electronic circuits.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and applications of mercury switches.
  • Learn about different types of tilt switches and their uses in alarm systems.
  • Explore circuit design principles for creating effective alarm systems.
  • Investigate alternative switch technologies for motion detection in alarms.
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists building alarm systems, and individuals interested in circuit design for security applications.

I have a circuit that I am going to use as a bike alarm. The problem is that I will need a tilt switch which acts like a push-to-break switch :confused: ...is it possible to get a switch like that? :rolleyes: ...or are there any alternatives?please reply...

I bet you could use a mercury switch, it would be more of a movement alarm. Most of the ones that i have seen are just a small glass tube with mercury inside, and there are 4 contacts two near the middle, on opposing sides and one at each end. So you could wire it either as a tilt-to-close or tilt-to-open switch. (there is only enough mercury in the tube to connect two contacts at a time)

I think you want a ON-(off) switch. It is the 3rd on down on this site: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/components/switch.htm
