Honeywell Hall Effect Linear Sensor, TO-92, 3-Pin

The Honeywell Miniature Ratiometric Linear (MRL) Sensor is a solid-state Hall-effect device, designed to deliver reliable performance in various magnetic sensing applications. This versatile linear device is operated by the magnetic field from either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet, providing an output that varies proportionally to the strength of the magnetic field.

Engineered for precision, the integrated circuitry offers enhanced temperature stability and sensitivity. The built-in thin film resistors are laser trimmed to ensure high accuracy, with a null of ±3% and sensitivity up to ±3%, alongside effective temperature compensation. The sensor responds to both positive and negative gauss, allowing it to monitor either or both magnetic poles effortlessly.

Featuring a quad Hall sensing element, this sensor minimises the effects of mechanical or thermal stress on the output, ensuring stable and consistent readings. It boasts a low power consumption of 7mA at 5VDC, making it an energy-efficient choice for your designs. Additionally, the linear output and rail-to-rail operation provide circuit design flexibility and a more useable signal for higher accuracy.
