# Piezo Vibration Sensor - Small Vertical

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** SEN-09199 · **Brand:** [Sparkfun](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/sparkfun-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/piezo-vibration-sensor-small-vertical.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/piezo-vibration-sensor-small-vertical.html.md))

The Minisense 100 from Measurement Specialties is a low-cost cantilever-type vibration sensor loaded by a mass to offer high sensitivity at low frequencies. Useful for detecting vibration and ‘tap’ inputs from a user. A small AC and large voltage (up to +/-90V) is created when the film moves back an forth. A simple resistor should get the voltage down to ADC levels. Can also be used for impact sensing or a flexible switch.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $27.55 (inc GST) — $25.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 5+ $24.29 (exc GST) · 25+ $23.79 (exc GST) · 100+ $22.79 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 24 and Aug 28.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN-09199:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SEN-09199:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)
