FAQs of Hall Effect Sensor:

Q: What is the primary function of this Hall Effect sensor?

A: This Hall Effect sensor is designed to detect the presence or absence of a magnetic field. Upon sensing a magnetic field, it provides a corresponding digital output signal (high/low), making it ideal for speed detection, position sensing, and proximity switching applications.

Q: How is the sensor installed on a PCB?

A: The sensor can be easily mounted on a PCB using its through-hole TO-92 package or attached via SMD for surface mounting, depending on the variant chosen. It features three leads (Vcc, Output, GND) for straightforward electrical connections.

Q: Where can this Hall Effect sensor be used?

A: It is widely used in industrial automation, robotics, automotive systems, and security systems across India and other regions, thanks to its high sensitivity, reliability, and compatibility with standard electronic circuits.

Q: What types of magnetic field polarity can this sensor detect?

A: Depending on the variant, the sensor is available as unipolar or bipolar, allowing it to detect either a single pole (north or south) or both polarities. This flexibility suits varied detection needs in different applications.

Q: What benefits does using this sensor provide?

A: The sensor offers non-contact detection, long operational life (up to 100,000 cycles), high sensitivity to magnetic fields, and fast response times (<3 s). Its robust design ensures stable performance and low power consumption in demanding environments.

Q: How is the sensor powered?

A: The sensor is powered by an external DC supply within a broad voltage range of 3V to 24V DC, though it is rated for optimal operation at 5V DC. This allows easy integration into standard 5V or 12V logic circuits.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for purchase?

A: The minimum order quantity for this Hall Effect sensor is 100 units, making it suitable for both small-scale prototyping and large-scale manufacturing requirements.
