Description

The Honeywell SS461R is a digital bipolar Hall-effect sensor IC that provides a switched output in response to a magnetic field from a permanent magnet or electromagnet. Its operation is based on the Hall effect principle, where a voltage difference is generated across a conductor when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the current flow. This IC integrates the Hall plate, signal conditioning, and a Schmitt trigger output stage into a single monolithic device, ensuring stable switching behavior with hysteresis to prevent chatter.

Engineered for durability, the SS461R maintains consistent performance across an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +150°C. Its wide 3V to 24V supply range makes it suitable for battery-powered applications, 5V microcontroller systems, and higher-voltage industrial control panels, promoting design flexibility and energy efficiency. The sensor’s digital output simplifies integration for precise motion detection, position sensing, and proximity switching tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Honeywell SS461R sensor?

The SS461R Hall-effect sensor operates from a wide DC supply voltage range of 3.0 volts to 24.0 volts. This makes it compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems (like Arduino or Raspberry Pi) as well as standard 12V or 24V industrial power supplies, offering significant design flexibility.

How do I interpret the 'Operating Point 5G to 120G' specification?

This specification defines the magnetic field strength required to activate the sensor's digital output. The sensor will switch its output state when exposed to a South or North magnetic pole with a strength between 5 Gauss (minimum sensitivity) and 120 Gauss (maximum rated point). You must select a magnet that produces a field within this range at your desired sensing distance.

What is the output type of the SS461R and how do I connect it to a microcontroller?

The SS461R features a digital open-collector output. To interface with a microcontroller input pin, connect a pull-up resistor (typically 1kΩ to 10kΩ) between the sensor's output pin and your logic voltage (e.g., 3.3V or 5V). The output will pull low when a magnetic field of sufficient strength is detected, providing a clean logic-level signal.

Can this sensor be used in high-temperature environments?

Yes, the SS461R is rated for continuous operation across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +150°C. This high-temperature tolerance makes it suitable for demanding applications such as under-hood automotive sensing, industrial machinery near heat sources, and other harsh environment deployments.
