NOTICE

Bipolar Hall-effect sensor ICs may have an initial output in either the ON or OFF state if powered up with an applied magnetic

field in the differential zone (applied magnetic field >Brp and <Bop). Honeywell recommends allowing 10 µs for output voltage to

stabilize after supply voltage has reached 5 V.

NOTICE

The magnetic field strength (Gauss) required to cause the switch to change state (operate

and release) will be as specified in the magnetic characteristics. To test the switch against

the specified magnetic characteristics, the switch must be placed in a uniform magnetic

field.

Note 1:

Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits that the device will withstand without damage to the device. However, the

electrical and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed as the maximum limits (above recommended operating conditions)

are approached, nor will the device necessarily operate at absolute maximum ratings.
