ADXL375 High-G Accelerometer Breakout is a 3-axis digital accelerometer designed for applications where a standard ±16g sensor is not enough. It measures acceleration up to ±200 g on the X, Y, and Z axes, making it a strong fit for shock, impact, motion, and high-G event monitoring.
This breakout uses the ADXL375, which is very similar in behavior to the popular ADXL345 and ADXL343, so existing code and workflows can often be reused with scaling adjustments. Communication is available over I2C or SPI, and the onboard support circuitry makes integration straightforward with both microcontrollers and Linux SBCs.
For fast prototyping, the board includes STEMMA QT / Qwiic-compatible JST SH connectors for solderless I2C connections, plus a 9-pin 0.1" header for breadboard or perfboard use. Please note: the measurement range is fixed at ±200g and cannot be changed, and a QT cable is not included.

This breakout is fully assembled and tested, and it is suitable for Arduino, ESP8266, Metro, Raspberry Pi, and other Blinka-supported Linux systems. Library support is available for both Arduino (C/C++) and CircuitPython (Python 3), which helps speed up bring-up and prototyping.
The STEMMA QT / Qwiic interface allows quick I2C hookup without soldering when used with a compatible cable, while the included header supports permanent installation on breadboards or perfboards.

Important notes:
This breakout measures acceleration on the X, Y, and Z axes up to ±200 g. Unlike the ADXL345 or ADXL343, its range is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
It supports both I2C and SPI digital communication, including 3-wire or 4-wire SPI. For I2C, the available addresses are 0x53 by default or 0x1D.
Yes, the board includes STEMMA QT JST-SH connectors that are SparkFun Qwiic compatible for solderless I2C connections. A QT cable is not included with the board.
The ADXL375 is designed for high-G motion sensing, including shock event detection and activity/inactivity monitoring. It is a good fit for projects where impacts or sudden acceleration need to be detected.
In many cases, yes. According to the supplier, existing ADXL345/ADXL343 library code will often work with the ADXL375, typically with a scaling adjustment because this sensor uses a fixed ±200 g range.
The package includes a fully tested and assembled ADXL375 breakout board and a 9-pin 0.1 inch standard header. The STEMMA QT / Qwiic cable is not included.
