HT Micro’s PassiveMicro® technology is the foundation for the smallest, most reliable, zero-power acceleration switches on the market. The MIL-SPEC G-Switch consumes zero power until triggered by the acceleration signal, making it ideal for remote applications. HT Micro’s MIL-SPEC Inertial G-Switches passively sense acceleration thresholds in Aerospace and Defense applications. The sensor is a key component in the Department of Defense objective to supply a portfolio of smart, precision munitions that are reliable and safe to the warfighter, result in less collateral damage, and eliminate unexploded ordnance (UXO). HT’s inertial switch is qualified for DoD applications and, with an area of 3.4 mm², replaces conventional products that are significantly larger. The smallest of their type and can withstand over 100,000 Gs of acceleration. PassiveMicro inertial switches passively sense acceleration thresholds, allowing remote monitoring of acceleration events. This offers a significantly smaller, more rugged, and more reliable option to conventional switches. PERFORMANCE: Size: 3.4 mm² surface area Survivability: 100,000+ Gs Sensitivity range: 2 Gs to 15,000 Gs Detection speed: <1mS Operating temperature: Up to 250° C Suitable for radiation environments
