Magnetoresistance Element
For the availability of this product, please contact the sales office.
Description
The DM-106B is a highly sensitive magnetoresistance element composed of an evaporated
ferromagnetic alloy on a silicon substrate. (The
element can be used for automatic shut off of tape
recorders, as a contactless switch, and as a general
detector of rotational motion.)

Changes occur to the output voltage at the saturation region
of V-H curve according to the direction of magnetic flux.
These changes provide for the operation.
• With one rotation of magnetic flux, signals for 2 periods are
obtained.

By coupling 2 pieces back to back and sticking them
together in a gridge, the output voltage is doubled.
Notes on Application
• Execute the solder to the lead line within 10 seconds at a temperature below 260 °
• To Fix the ELEMENTS : When glue is used, DO NOT apply mechanical stress to the elements.
