Hall effect sensors are generally lower cost and sufficient for most proximity tasks. Magnetoresistive (MR) sensors offer higher sensitivity and are better suited for detecting very weak fields or precise angular positioning.

What are Solid-State Magnetic Switches components?
Solid-state magnetic switches, primarily Hall effect and magnetoresistive sensors, provide reliable, wear-free switching. They are essential for non-contact position sensing, speed detection, and tamper-proof security in harsh environments where mechanical switches fail.
How to Choose Solid-State Magnetic Switches Components
Select based on the required magnetic field strength, switching frequency, and environmental robustness.
Technology Type
Choose Hall effect for cost-effective general use or Magnetoresistive (MR) for higher sensitivity and precision.
Switching Logic
Determine if you need Unipolar (one pole), Bipolar (alternating poles), or Omnipolar (either pole) operation.
Sensitivity (Bop/Brp)
Match the operating (Bop) and release (Brp) points to your magnet's field strength at the target distance.
Output Configuration
Select between Open-Drain (requires pull-up) or Push-Pull outputs based on your interface requirements.
Supply Voltage
Ensure the operating voltage range aligns with your system rail, especially for low-power battery designs.
