The Hall Effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response of a magnetic field. Hall Effect sensors are used for proximity switching, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications. In its simplest form, the sensor operates as an analog transducer, directly returning a voltage.

Features of Hall Effect Sensor With Breakout:

• Such a switch costs less than a mechanical switch and is much more reliable.
• It can be operated up to 100 kHz.
• It does not suffer from contact bounce because a solid state switch with hysteresis is used rather than a mechanical contact.
• It will not be affected by environmental contaminants since the sensor is in a sealed package. Therefore it can be used under severe conditions.
• In the case of linear sensor (for the magnetic field strength measurements), a Hall effect sensor.
• Can measure a wide range of magnetic fields.
• Is available that can measure either North or South pole magnetic fields.
• Can be flat

Applications of Hall Effect Sensor With Breakout:

• It is used in Position sensing.
• It is used in DC current transformers.
• It used in Automotive fuel level indicator.
