Advanced Magnetic Sensors

Honeywell Sensing & Control introduces Advanced Magnetic Sensors that offer additional functionality over basic Hall-effect or MR devices, such as the reduction of total costs, application flexibility, enhanced accuracy and stability, and simplification of system design. The Honeywell APS00B is a miniature SMT sensor for linear, angular, or rotary displacement designed for magnetic saturating field sensing. The Honeywell VF401 is a high performance, digital, 2-wire, MR sensor in a miniature, flat, TO-92-style plastic package with a current output, designed for sensing fine pitch ring magnets. The Honeywell VF526DT has 2 Hall sensing elements in a thermoset molding material precisely located 1, 4mm apart on a single integrated circuit chip. 2 active Hall latches provide speed and direction indication of an alternating magnetic field across the face of the package.
