55100 Miniature Flange Mounting Proximity Sensor
Description
The 55100 is a miniature flange mounting hall effect sensor 25.5mm (1.004”) x
11.00m (0.433”) and only 3.00mm (0.118”) high with a choice of digital or
programmable analogue outputs. It is available as three-wire (voltage output) or
two-wire (current output) versions. It’s case design enables screw or adhesive
mounting and capable of switching up to 28Vdc and 20mA. It comes with a
range of sensitivity, cable length and connector options.

Notes:
1. Add capcitor Cn as shown, close to the sensor , for transient suppression if required.
2. Add pull-up resistor Rpu as shown for sinking output. The Rpu value should be calculated
using your supply voltage while keeping the ON state current at a level below the
maximum. Rpu = VDD/Io;
Rpu = 12Vdc/10mA = 1.2kOhm
