The Gravity Spear Tip pH Sensor Kit is designed for measuring the pH of semi-solid materials such as wet soil, fruit, meat, and vegetables. The stainless steel spear tip protects the glass electrode and allows the probe to be pushed directly into soft materials — something standard pH probes cannot do without damage.
The kit includes a spear tip pH probe with BNC connector and a signal transmitter board with a Gravity interface, making it Arduino-compatible and easy to integrate into soil monitoring and food quality projects.
Key Features
- Spear Tip Design – Stainless steel tip for direct insertion into semi-solid materials
- pH Range – 0 to 10 pH with ±0.1 pH accuracy
- Gravity Interface – Analogue output (0–4.0V) via 3-pin PH2.0 connector
- Arduino Compatible – 5V input, plug-and-play with Gravity expansion shields
- BNC Connection – Standard BNC connector between probe and transmitter board
Specifications
- Probe Measuring Range – 0–10 pH
- Probe Accuracy – ±0.1 pH
- Transmitter Accuracy – <±0.2 pH (at 25°C)
- Operating Temperature – 5–60°C
- Response Time – ≤2 min (in standard buffer solution)
- Probe Wire Length – 850 mm (including BNC connector)
- Salt Bridge Material – PTFE
- Shell Material – POM (Polyoxymethylene)
- Transmitter Input – 5V
- Transmitter Output – 0–4.0V analogue
- Transmitter Dimensions – 43 × 32 mm
Ideal For
- Soil pH measurement for gardening and agriculture
- Food quality testing (fruit, meat, vegetables)
- Science and chemistry experiments
- Environmental monitoring projects
Package Contents

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- BNC connector
- A twist-lock connector commonly used for probes, test equipment, and shielded signal cables. For pH and conductivity sensors, a BNC connector makes it easier to attach or replace electrodes without soldering.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- pH
- A measure of how acidic or alkaline a liquid is, on a scale where 7 is neutral. For a water monitoring kit, pH tells you about water chemistry and whether the included probe matches the range and accuracy your project needs.
