Overview
Water Level and Rain Drop Sensor for Microcontroller, Analog Output 3-5V, Detection Area 40 x 16 mm, Dimensions 62 x 20 x 8 mm, Red

A simple and compact sensor for water detection or measuring height operates on the principle of conductivity change between parallel copper tracks on the surface of the board. The greater the portion of the detection area that is submerged or covered by droplets, the lower the resistance and the higher the output voltage - the result can be read directly from the analog input of the microcontroller. The three-pin connection (power, ground, and output signal) facilitates connection to a breadboard or directly to a development board. Its small dimensions and weight under 4 grams make it an ideal component for personal automation and smart home projects.

  • Detection area 40 x 16 mm with parallel copper tracks
  • Analog output proportional to the height of submersion in water
  • Operating voltage DC 3 V to 5 V, current consumption under 20 mA
  • Compact dimensions 62 x 20 x 8 mm and weight of only 3.5 g
  • Compatibility with common development boards for personal projects
  • FR-4 board material with double-sided solderable surface
  • Operating temperature 10 to 30 °C, humidity 10 to 90 % non-condensing
  • Three-pin connector for easy connection
  • Red board design with white markings
  • No need for external electronics - signal is read directly by the microcontroller
  • Contents: 1x water level sensor

The sensor can be used in a variety of practical projects - from a simple flood detector in a technical room to monitoring the level in a plant tank and automatic window closing during rain. Connect it to the analog input of the microcontroller, read the voltage value, and evaluate it according to the threshold - a value close to zero indicates dryness, while a high value indicates full submersion. The sensor can also be connected as a simple detector with digital evaluation, where the program compares the value against a chosen threshold. It is not designed for long-term underwater use as the parallel tracks suffer from electrolytic corrosion - thus, ideal deployment is for short-term detection or occasional measurement. For continuous level measurement, the sensor can be powered pulsed through a switching transistor, significantly extending its lifespan.
