A wide-range triple-axis accelerometer breakout featuring the Analog Devices ADXL326. With a ±16 g measurement range and analog outputs for X, Y, and Z axes, this sensor is ideal for detecting high-impact motion, vibration, and orientation in demanding applications.
The onboard 3.3V regulator accepts up to 5V input, making it easy to interface with Arduino and other 5V microcontrollers. Analog outputs are ratiometric: 0 g reads at 1.65V (half of 3.3V), with full linear scaling from 0V (-16 g) to 3.3V (+16 g).
Key Features
- ±16 g Range – Wide range for high-impact and vibration sensing
- 3 Analog Outputs – Independent X, Y, and Z axis readings
- 5V Ready – Onboard 3.3V regulator with VCC input up to 5V
- Ratiometric Output – Linear scaling from 0V to 3.3V across the full range
- 50 Hz Bandwidth – 0.1 µF filter capacitors on XYZ outputs
- Compact Breakout – 19 × 19 mm (0.75" × 0.75") with two 2 mm mounting holes
Ideal For
- High-g impact detection and crash sensing
- Vibration monitoring and analysis
- Motion-sensing projects and robotics
- Tilt and orientation measurement
Package Contents
- 1× ADXL326 Triple-Axis Accelerometer Breakout (assembled and tested)
- 1× 8-pin header strip
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 3.3V regulator
- A 3.3V regulator is a power circuit that provides a steady 3.3 volts for parts that need that supply voltage. On a breakout board, it can let the sensor run safely even when the connected microcontroller or power source uses a higher voltage.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
