Seat belt sensor

Main features Description

The increase of usage of seat belt buckle detection has increased on the
• Selectable working principle: Reed Switch or Hall Effect.
recent years mainly driven by higher market demand on ATVs and off-
road vehicles. Due to legislation changes on safety for implementing
• Simple dual module design with only two wires with no
buckle seat belt detection, with the possibility to become mandatory on
external magnets or moving parts required, thus saving some markets in the near future, has created new requests for buckle
space, cost and set-up operations. seat belt sensors on these markets.

• Fully sealed for harsh environments without mechanical Piher designs and develops seat belt buckle sensors that detects when
wear between both modules and customizable lifetime a buckle tongue is latched. This information is received by the vehicle

when the buckle tongue is unlatched.
• Custom designs can be developed including electrical
and mechanical characteristics, size, wires and connectors. The technology used for this kind of sensors, Reed Switch or Hall Effect,
