55140 Miniature Flange Mounting Sensor
Description
The 55140 is a small flange mounting hall effect sensor occupying only 3.22cm²
(0.500”² ) board space 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 capacitor Cn as shown, close for the sensors 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 = 1.2
