The Mini PIR Motion Sensor Electric Switch is a compact, ultra-sensitive automation module designed for seamless integration into small lighting fixtures and DIY smart home projects. At Electrapac, we recommend this mini version for users who need the power of motion detection but have limited space for installation, such as inside cabinets, wardrobes, or slim LED strips.

Product Overview

This Passive Infrared (PIR) switch detects the invisible infrared "heat" emitted by the human body. Its miniature "thumb-sized" profile allows it to be hidden almost anywhere. Despite its small size, it features a high-performance internal controller that ensures a stable output and high resistance to interference. It is designed to be installed directly into the DC power line of your lighting system.

Key Features for Electrapac Customers

• Ultra-Compact Design: The sensor head is small enough to be flush-mounted in wood, plastic, or drywall, making it nearly invisible once installed.

• Wide Voltage Range: Compatible with 5V, 12V, and 24V systems, allowing it to control everything from USB-powered lights to high-brightness 12V LED strips.

• Adjustable Delay: Features an internal or side-mounted potentiometer that allows you to choose how long the light stays on after the last movement is detected.

• Energy Efficient: With an extremely low standby current, this switch consumes virtually no power while waiting for motion.

• Silent Switching: Uses solid-state components rather than a mechanical relay, ensuring completely silent operation when turning the lights on and off.

Wiring & Installation Guide

Setting up your Electrapac Mini PIR switch is simple and follows a "pass-through" wiring logic:

1. Input (VIN/GND): Connect these to your power source (e.g., a 12V Power Adapter or Battery).

2. Output (VOUT/GND): Connect these directly to your LED strip, lamp, or DC fan.

3. Mounting: Drill a small hole (typically 10mm–12mm) to expose only the white dome of the sensor, keeping the wiring hidden behind the surface.

Pro-Tip: If the sensor is triggering too often, ensure it is not pointed toward a window or a heating vent. PIR sensors are sensitive to rapid changes in air temperature, which can mimic human movement.

Primary Applications

• Under-Cabinet Lighting: Automatically light up your kitchen counters when you approach.

• Wardrobe & Closet Lights: Save energy by having lights turn on only when the door is opened and movement is detected.

• Smart Furniture: Add motion-activated "glow" lighting under beds or sofas for nighttime safety.

• Battery-Powered Projects: Ideal for portable LED lanterns or camping gear due to its low power draw.

• Security Alarms: Use the DC output to trigger a buzzer or a micro-controller when an intruder is detected.
