Honeywell Technologies Surface Hall Effect Sensor 3.8 V 30V, U-Pack, 3-Pin

Honeywell Hall Effect Sensor, 3 Pin, 3.8V - 2SS Series - 2SS52M

When you need a component to accurately detect motion, use this highly-responsive Hall effect sensor from Honeywell. The fast-operating speed of 0 to 100kHz is designed to keep up with quick movements. The integrated circuitry, digital output and band-gap regulator mean it's capable of reacting to low magnetic fields. This component is an omnipolar sensor, so it can be activated by either a north or a south pole, giving you greater flexibility of use. Its Compact size means it won't take up too much space in tight or crowded systems.

Features & Benefits

• Comes with three pins for easy and secure through-hole mounting on a PCB (printed circuit board)
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +150°C means it can cope with extremes of heat and cold
• Works with supply voltages from 3.8 to 30V, making it suitable for use with a wide range of machinery

Applications

• Lifts
• Cylinder position sensing
• Laptop LID sensing
• Proximity sensing in industrial conveyor belts

How can I maximise the sensitivity of this Hall effect sensor?

If you install this sensor parallel to the magneto-resistive element, you can increase the range of motion detection by about ten times.
