Magnetic sensors and switches are widely used in many industrial and consumer settings, including contactless switches for detecting the presence of an object or a specific force being applied. The AFL020-00E is one such solid-state sensor that can be used to detect a range of magnetic fields and provide a corresponding output. This application note will discuss the application field and working principle of the AFL020-00E.

Application Field
The AFL020-00E magnetic switch is a solid-state device that is well-suited for use in applications where a contactless switch or magnetically-operated switch is required. It can be used for a variety of magnetic field detection applications, such as detecting the presence of a magnet in a machine for safety switches, controlling machinery with motion sensing, or detecting the motion of a wheel or other rotary device. It can also be used to detect the presence of a physical object, such as a door, window, or the like, in order to activate or deactivate a circuit. Additionally, the device can be used to detect changes in relative magnetic field strength, which can be used to measure motion or displacement.

Working Principle
The AFL020-00E magnetic switch is based on a Hall-effect sensor. A Hall-effect sensor is a device that measures the strength of a magnetic field. The sensor consists of a silicon chip with two contacts, usually made of copper, and a thin film of ferromagnetic material (such as cobalt or iron) on its surface. When a magnetic field is perpendicular to the face of the chip, the current flowing through the chip will be proportional to the strength of the magnetic field. This change in current can be detected by external circuitry, which can provide a corresponding output.

The AFL020-00E sensor is designed to detect a range of magnetic fields. It can be set to detect a specific field strength, a range of field strength, or a rate of change of field strength. The threshold level can be adjusted by adding or removing the ferromagnetic film from the sensor surface. Additionally, the AFL020-00E also has a built-in temperature compensation feature which ensures that the output remains consistent over a wide range of temperatures.

The AFL020-00E magnetic switch is a versatile and reliable way to detect magnetic fields for a variety of applications. It is easy to set up and adjust, and its temperature compensation feature ensures consistent operation in a wide range of temperatures. This makes it ideal for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications where contactless sensing or magnetic field detection is required.
