Honeywell Technologies Surface Hall Effect Sensor -4.5 V 10.5V, IC, TO-92, 3-Pin

Honeywell SS490 Series Hall Effect Sensor, 10.5V Maximum Supply Voltage, +150°C Maximum Operating Temperature - SS496B

This Hall effect sensor provides a Compact magnetic-to-electrical transduction solution for industrial automation and electronic sensing tasks. Designed as a three-pin, surface-mounted IC in a TO-92 package, it converts linear magnetic fields into a stable output suitable for control and measurement systems operating across a wide temperature range.

Features and Benefits:

• Quad-Hall technology reduces signal variation for consistent detection
  3μs response time enables fast switching and real-time monitoring
  25% sensitivity offers predictable proportional output behaviour
  Supply range ±4.5V to 10.5V supports diverse system voltages
  8.7mA supply current minimises power draw in continuous use
  Rated to +150°C allows performance at elevated temperatures

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing in automated actuators
  Ideal for magnetic field measurement in test rigs
  Used for proximity detection in electrical assemblies
  Can be used for linear displacement monitoring in machinery
  Suitable for integration into control electronics for motion systems

What mounting format should I prepare on the board?

The device uses a surface-mount configuration with three leads in a through-hole style TO-92 package, so design the footprint to accommodate a compact, vertically oriented component.

How does the sensor behave across temperature extremes?

It operates from -40°C up to +150°C, maintaining functional output across this industrial temperature span though specific offset drift will depend on system conditions.

What current budget is required for continuous operation?

Expect a nominal supply current of 8.7mA during normal operation
plan power supplies and thermal dissipation accordingly.

Can it be used where fast detection is critical?

Yes, with a response time of 3μs it is suitable for applications requiring Rapid detection and timely signal transitions.

What type of magnetic measurement does it provide?

It provides a linear magnetic sensing output using Hall-effect elements, allowing proportional measurement of magnetic field changes.
