DESCRIPTION
These small and versatile digital Hall-effect devices are
operated by the magnetic field from a permanent magnet
or an electromagnet, and are designed to respond to
alternating North and South poles. The built-in regulator
provides enhanced stabilit y of operation from 4.5 Vdc to
24 Vdc supply voltage range, and internal circuitry is designed
to prevent sensor damage in case the supply voltage polarity
is accidentally reversed. The open-collector sinking output
voltage is easily interfaced with a wide variety of electronic
circuits. The SS41 is tested at both 25°C [77°F] and 125°C
[257°F]. For design flexibility, these product are available in
the following flat TO-92 package styles:
• SS41: Straight standard leads, bulk pack
• SS41-L: Straight long leads, bulk pack
• SS41-T2: Formed leads, ammopack tape-in-box
• SS41-T3: Straight standard leads, ammopack tape-in-box
• SS41-S: Surface mount, bulk pack
• SS41-SP: Surface mount, pocket tape and reel
