A hall-effect sensor as the name suggests works with the principle of hall-effect and is used to detect magnets. Each side of the sensor can detect one particular pole. It can also be easily interfaced with a microcontroller since it works on transistor logic.
Specifications:
- Digital Output Hall-effect sensor
- Operating voltage: 4.5V to 28V (typically 5V)
- Output Current: 25mA
- Can be used to detect both the poles of a magnet
- Output voltage is equal to operating voltage
- Operating temperature: -40°C to 85°C
- Turn on and Turn off time is 2uS each
- Inbuilt reverse polarity protection
- Suitable for Automotive and Industrial Applications
