Overview

The SS495A1 is a high-performance linear Hall-effect sensor from Honeywell that provides a temperature-compensated analog output voltage proportional to magnetic flux density. It features a rail-to-rail output and a quad-Hall integrated circuit design to minimize mechanical stress effects and enhance stability. Operating across a wide supply voltage range of 4.5V to 10.5V, it is designed for precision sensing in harsh environments with a temperature range of -40 to 150 degrees Celsius.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor employs laser-trimmed thin film resistors and internal temperature compensation to provide high accuracy of 1.5 percent and excellent thermal stability. Its quad-Hall design reduces sensitivity to mechanical stress, while the rail-to-rail analog output ensures a wide dynamic range for sensing magnetic fields up to +/-600 Gauss.

Applications

Current Sensing
Monitoring magnetic fields around conductors to measure AC or DC current in power supplies and motor controllers.
Brushless DC Motor Control
Providing high-resolution rotor position feedback for commutation in precision motor drives.
Liquid Level Sensing
Detecting the position of a float-mounted magnet for non-contact tank level measurement.
Weight and Force Sensing
Measuring the displacement of a spring-loaded magnet to determine applied load or pressure.

Getting Started

Integrate the sensor by connecting the 3-pin SIP package to a stable 5V DC supply and monitoring the analog output pin with a high-impedance ADC input. Use a bypass capacitor of 0.1uF between the Vcc and GND pins to minimize electrical noise in industrial environments. Ensure proper magnetic orientation by aligning the magnet face with the branded side of the TO-92 package for maximum sensitivity.
