Shock Sensors are designed to detect and respond to the presence of a sudden change in acceleration, most often using piezoelectric principles. The characteristics are sensor type, sensing range, sensitivity, and mounting type. The sensor types are ball and vibration (Piezo film) with a sensing range of 0 to 1500 G, and sensitivities of 0.055 pC/G, 0.09 pC/G, 0.350 pC/G, 0.608 pC/G, 0.840 pC/G, or 1 mV/G.
