HAL 506
DATA SHEET
4.6. HAL 506
Applications
The HAL 506 is the most sensitive unipolar switching
sensor of this family (see Fig. 4–21).
The HAL 506 is the optimal sensor for all applications
with one magnetic polarity and weak magnetic ampli-
tude at the sensor position such as:
The output turns low with the magnetic south pole on
the branded side of the package and turns high if the
magnetic field is removed. The sensor does not
respond to the magnetic north pole on the branded
side.
– applications with large air gap or weak magnets,
– solid state switches,
– contactless solution to replace microswitches,
– position and end point detection, and
– rotating speed measurement.
For correct functioning in the application, the sensor
requires only the magnetic south pole on the branded
side of the package.
In the HAL 5xx family, the HAL 516 is a sensor with the
same magnetic characteristics but with an inverted
output characteristic.

The hysteresis is the difference between the switching points BHYS = BON − BOFF
The magnetic offset is the mean value of the switching points BOFFSET = (BON + BOFF) / 2
