Product Overview

The Honeywell SS461A Digital Position Sensor, part of the SS400 series, features a thermally balanced integrated circuit with full-temperature range compensation, supporting latching magnetic sensing for reliable position detection in harsh environments. With wide voltage input, high output current capability, and fast response, it delivers robust position feedback solutions for industrial automation, consumer electronics, and smart devices.

Key Features

• Wide Temperature Stability: Operates from -40°C to +150°C with built-in temperature compensation, ensuring consistent performance in extreme industrial conditions.
• Versatile Power Input: Supports 3.8-30 VDC wide voltage range with band-gap regulation, minimizing power supply adaptation complexity.
• High Current Output: Provides 20 mA continuous sinking current (50 mA peak), directly driving loads and simplifying circuit design.
• Rapid Response & Precision: Ultra-fast response time of 0.05 μs (typical) and symmetrical magnetic operate/release points (±110 Gauss) enable accurate position switching.
• Flexible Magnetic Configuration: Latching magnetic type with customizable operate/release points, adapting to bipolar magnetic field applications.
