WATER SENSOR HW-038

Description

The HW-038 Water Sensor Module is a simple and low-cost water detection/water level sensing module used in Arduino and electronics projects.

It works by detecting changes in electrical conductivity when water touches its exposed metal traces.

KEY FEATURES

• Water level/water presence detection sensor
• Uses exposed parallel conductive tracks on PCB
• Analog signal output proportional to water contact level
• Low-cost and easy to use with microcontrollers
• Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi
• Fast response to water contact
• Can be used for leak detection or tank level monitoring
• Low power consumption
• Compact and lightweight design
• Suitable for DIY electronics and automation projects
