MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP

Introduction

The MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP is a member of the Magnetic Sensors - Switches (Solid State) family. It is an easy-to-use and high performance magnetic switch dedicated to detecting the presence of magnetic fields. Its small size and low power consumption, combined with high sensitivity and low temperature drift over a wide operating temperature range, make it ideally suited for use in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP magnetic switch finds application in many areas such as position sensing, door monitoring, and safety. It is very commonly used in the automotive industry, for applications such as HVAC temperature control, door locks monitoring, seat sensors, and more. It is also useful for monitoring the position of objects in vending machines, industrial controls and robotics.

Working Principle

The MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP magnetic switch works by detecting changes in the strength of a magnetic field. It is based on the Hall effect which states that when a voltage is applied across a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field, a voltage is generated that is proportional to the magnetic field strength. The magnitude of the generated voltage is measured by the MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP and used to detect changes in the magnetic field around it, allowing it to detect the presence, absence, or direction of a magnetic field. The MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP can be configured to detect changes in magnetic fields strength as small as 0.3 gauss or greater when used with a 0.14T (1400 gauss) permanent magnet or greater.

Conclusion

The MLX92215LUA-AAA-000-SP is a versatile, high-performance magnetic switch ideal for a variety of applications. Its small size and low power consumption, combined with its high sensitivity and low temperature drift over a wide operating temperature range, make it well-suited for position sensing, door monitoring, safety, HVAC temperature control, door locks monitoring, seat sensors, industrial controls, robotics, and more. Its working principle is based on the Hall effect and it is able to detect changes in magnetic fields strength as small as 0.3 gauss or greater when used with a 0.14T (1400 gauss) permanent magnet or greater.
