SS5 Series

MICRO SWITCH Sensing and Control

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• Wide temperature and

voltage ranges for design

flexibility and harsh

(automotive)environments.

• Temperature compensated

for consistent operation with

low-cost magnets (SS500).

• SS5 Package is resistant to

thermal and mechanical

stress.

• SS5 profile is lower than

other SOT-89 packages.

This allows the customer to

reduce the total gap.

• Industry standard "gull-wing"

design. Less susceptibility to

"solder bridging". Allows

increased circuit board

density.

• Bipolar, unipolar and latching

magnetics.

• Low Gauss versions

available for high accuracy

or wide gap applications.

• SS5 package allows 4-pin

package designs

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Brushless DC motors

• Digital current sensor

• Anti-skid braking sensor

• Piston detection in hydraulic

cylinder

• Valve position sensing

• Cam, lever, shaft position

sensing

• Tachometer, counter pickup

• Push-button sensor

• Disk speed, tape rotation,

flow rate sensing

• Speed sensing - rate, under,

over speed

• Remote reading sensor

• Magnetic card reader

SS5 Series Hall effect position sensors are operated by the magnetic

field from a permanent magnet or electromagnet. The small SOT89 style

package surface mounts on PC boards and flexible circuits. The SS5 uses

a industry standard "gull-wing" design which makes it less susceptible to

"solder bridging" and allows increased circuit board density. The SS5

series package can accommodate larger IC’s than SS1 and allows for four-

pin designs

The integrated circuits are designed to provide predictable performance

over the full temperature range of -40 to +150

°C. Bipolar, unipolar and

latching magnetics are available. The SS5 has the same footprint and pin-

out as the industry standard SOT-89. It will replace Honeywell SS1 Series

and any equivalent SOT-89 sensors from other suppliers with minimum or

no design changes.

On-board regulation provides extremely stable operation over the full

supply voltage range of 4.5 to 24 VDC(SS51T) or 3.8 to 30 VDC(SS500).

Current consumption is a low 10 mA maximum at 40

°C and is typically

7mA or less at room temperature and above. SS5 sensors are capable of

continuous 20 mA sinking output, and can withstand temporary current as

high as 20 mA maximum (SS51T) or 50 mA maximum (SS500). They can

use existing power supply sources in most applications, and can be directly

interfaced with many electronic components without buffering or

compensation circuitry.

SS5 Series sensors are supplied on tape and reel for high-volume,

automated pick and place equipment. Each reel contains 1,000 sensors.

MICRO SWITCH supplies bar and ring magnets for operating Hall effect

sensors. Bar magnets can operate any Hall effect sensor. Ring magnets

are magnetized on the outside diameter with alternating North and South

poles. They are particularly useful with bipolar sensors and rpm

measurement.
