SS340RT and SS440R

Series

Unipolar Hall-Effect Digital

Position Sensors

DESCRIPTION

These sensors are available in two package styles. The

The SS340RT Series and SS440R Series sensors are small,

SS340RT Series is available in the miniature SOT-23 surface

versatile digital Hall-effect devices that are operated by the

mount package; the SS440R is available in the leaded, flat TO-

magnetic field from a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

92-style package. The SS340RT’s small size requires less PC

They are designed to respond to a single pole: North

board space, allowing it to be used in smaller assemblies. Its

(SS340RT Series) or South (SS440R Series).

3 V capability allows for use in low voltage applications,

 

promoting energy efficiency.

These unipolar sensors are supplied in three different magnetic

 

sensitivities to meet a wide range of potential applications. The

SS341RT and SS441R offer the highest sensitivity, with a

typical operating point of 85 G at 25 °C [77 °F]; the SS343RT

and SS443R offer medium sensitivity with 125 G typical at

25 °C [77 °F]; the SS349RT and SS449R offer the lowest

sensitivity, requiring 350 G typical to operate at 25 °C [77 °F].

FEATURES/BENEFITS

Subminiature package size (SS340RT Series) supplied on tape and reel allows for a compact design with automated component placement, helping to reduce manufacturing costs

Simple activation from a single pole and multiple magnetic sensitivities (high, medium and low) make this product suitable in a variety of potential motion control, lid closure detection, and displacement sensing applications

Low voltage 3 V capability helps reduce power consumption

Built-in reverse polarity protection protects the device from potential damage during installation

Thermally balanced integrated circuit provides for stable operation over a wide temperature range, from -40 °C to 150 °C [-40 °F to 302 °F]

RoHS-compliant materials meet Directive 2002/95/EC

The SS340RT Series is available on tape and reel (3000 units

per reel); the SS440R Series is available in a bulk package

(1000 units per bag).

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS

Door or lid closure detection

Speed and RPM (revolutions per minute) sensing in fitness equipment

Flow rate sensing in industrial processes, appliances, or water softeners

Damper or valve position control in industrial, HVAC or residential or commercial applications

Robotic control (cylinder position monitoring)

Float-based fluid level sensing

Displacement sensor in hospital beds or medical equipment

Medication bin monitor on portable drug carts

Printer head position sensing

Note 1: The magnetic field strength (gauss) required to cause the switch to change state (operate and release) will be as specified in the magnetic characteristics. To test the switch against the specified magnetic characteristics, the switch must be placed in a uniform magnetic field.

NOTICE

Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits that the device will withstand without damage to the device. However, the electrical and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed as the maximum limits (above recommended operating conditions) are approached, nor will the device necessarily operate at absolute maximum ratings.
