Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of the Honeywell SS496B sensor?

The SS496B provides a ratiometric analog voltage output. This means the output voltage is linearly proportional to both the applied magnetic field strength and the supply voltage, which simplifies calibration and improves accuracy when used with microcontroller ADCs.

What is the operating voltage range and typical current draw?

This Hall effect sensor operates from a 4.5 VDC to 10.5 VDC supply. Its typical quiescent current consumption is 7 mA when powered at 5 VDC, making it suitable for low-power embedded systems and battery-operated devices.

How do I interface the SS496B with an Arduino or other microcontroller?

Connect the sensor's VCC and GND pins to your board's 5V and GND. The analog output pin should be connected to an analog input (ADC) pin on the microcontroller. The ratiometric output simplifies reading, as the ADC value scales directly with the magnetic field strength.

What does the magnetic field range of -840 G to +840 G mean?

This range indicates the sensor can measure both north (positive Gauss) and south (negative Gauss) magnetic fields with equal linearity up to 840 Gauss in either direction. It is suitable for applications requiring bidirectional sensing, like throttle position or linear displacement.
