Honeywell SS41F6 Hall-Effect Sensor IC Installation Instructions
This document provides installation instructions for the Honeywell SS41F6 High Voltage and ESD Protection Bipolar Hall-Effect Digital Position Sensor IC.
General Information
CAUTION: ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE DAMAGE
Ensure proper ESD precautions are followed when handling this product. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
ESD Sensitivity: Class 3B ?
Soldering and Assembly
CAUTION: IMPROPER SOLDERING
- Ensure leads are adequately supported during any forming/shearing operation so that they are not stressed inside the plastic case.
- Limit exposure to high temperatures.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
Wave solder at 250°C to 260°C [482°F to 500°F] for a maximum of three seconds. Burrs are allowed only if full lead length will pass through a 0.68 mm [0.027 in] diameter hole.
Cleaning
CAUTION: IMPROPER CLEANING
Do not use pressure wash. High-pressure stream could force contaminants into the package. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.
Use agitated rinse to clean the sensor.

Magnetic Characteristics
NOTICE: These 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 > $B_{RP}$ and < $B_{DP}$). Honeywell recommends allowing 10 µs after supply voltage has reached 4.5 V for the output voltage to stabilize.
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 (see Table 2). To test the switch against the specified limits, the switch must be placed in a uniform magnetic field.
| Characteristic | Symbol | Condition | Min. | Typ. | Max. | Unit |
| Operate | $B_{DP}$ | -$T_A$=25°C [75°F] | - | 25 | 115 | Gauss |
| Release | $B_{RP}$ | -$T_A$=25°C [75°F] | -115 | -25 | - | Gauss |
| Differential | $B_{DIF}$ | - | 30 | - | - | Gauss |
Absolute Maximum Specifications
Table 3 lists the absolute maximum specifications. These are the extreme limits the device will momentarily withstand without damage.
| Characteristic | Symbol | Condition | Min. | Typ. | Max. | Unit |
| Supply voltage | $V_S$ | - | -0.5 | - | 60.0 | V |
| Output voltage | $V_O$ | - | -0.5 | - | 60.0 | V |
| Output current | $I_O$ | - | - | - | N/A¹ | mA |
| Magnetic flux | B | - | - | - | no limit | Gauss |
¹ Output short circuit protection is enabled when the output load current exceeds the rated load current shown in Table 1.
NOTICE: Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device will momentarily withstand without damage to the device. Electrical and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed if the rated voltage and/or currents are exceeded, nor will the device necessarily operate at absolute maximum ratings.
Magnetic Characteristics vs Temperature
Figure 1 illustrates the magnetic characteristics ($B_{OP}$ and $B_{RP}$) as a function of temperature.
Power Derating Curve
Figure 2 shows the power derating curve, indicating the maximum supply voltage allowed at different temperatures.
Transfer Characteristics
Figure 3 and Figure 4 define the transfer characteristics of the sensor, showing the relationship between magnetic field strength and output voltage ($V_O$). The sensor operates when the magnetic field exceeds $B_{OP}$ and releases when it falls below $B_{RP}$, with a differential gap $B_{DIF}$.
Current Sinking Output Block Diagram
Figure 5 presents a block diagram of the current sinking output stage of the Hall-effect sensor IC, showing the trigger circuit, amplifier, and output transistor.
Basic Application Circuit
Figure 6 illustrates a basic application circuit for the Hall-effect sensor IC, including the sensor, a power source, and a load resistor ($R_{LOAD}$).
Mounting and Dimensional Drawings
Figure 7 provides mounting and dimensional drawings for the SS41F6 sensor IC. Dimensions are in millimeters [inches].
Note: Ensure the minimum hole size in the PCB is 0.68 mm [0.027 in] diameter based on the IPC 2222 Level B standard.
