Magnetic field sensor KMZ10A
DESCRIPTION
The KMZ10A is an extremely sensitive magnetic field
sensor, employing the magnetoresistive effect of thin-film
permalloy. Its properties enable this sensor to be used in a
wide range of applications for navigation, current and field
measurement, revolution counters, angular or linear
position measurement and proximity detectors, etc.
