A3240ELHLT Datasheet/PDFA3240ELHLT Magnetic Sensors - Switches (Solid State) are widely used for industrial applications and can be found in a variety of applications including fluid level sensing, position sensing, current sensing, and operating machine tools.
A3240ELHLT Magnetic Sensors - Switches (Solid State) are typically composed of an integrated circuit chip and two magnets, with one on the top side and one on the bottom side. The two magnets are connected in series with a wire and form a switch. The chip detects the magnetic field when the magnets are in proximity to one another and then actuates the switch.
The IC chip is designed to detect a wide range of magnetic fields, from a few milli-tesla to hundreds of gauss. Depending on the application, the sensitivity of the switch may be adjusted to a desired threshold. This allows for a wide range of uses, from measuring small changes in a magnetic field in a fluid level monitoring application, to detecting the presence of a large magnetic field in a position sensing application.
A3240ELHLT Magnetic Sensors - Switches (Solid State) can also be used to measure current. By placing a magnet on the circuit board between two resistors, a current can be induced in the circuit. The current is monitored by using the switch powers to activate the current first, and then to measure the current. This process is typically used for current sensing applications in industrial machines and automotive engines.
The switch powers are also used for operating machine tools, such as CNC machines, lathes, milling machines, etc. By placing magnets in specific locations, a machine tool can detect the presence of the magnetic field and actuate accordingly. This allows a CNC machine, for example, to accurately follow instructions given by a programmer and cut or move parts according to the exact instructions.
A3240ELHTL Magnetic Sensors - Switches (Solid State) are durable, reliable, and able to operate under a variety of conditions. They are easy to install and can often be used as a substitute for traditional mechanical switches. The wide range of applications and ease of installation make them a popular choice for industrial automation applications.
