DESCRIPTION
The SS360NT, SS360ST, SS360ST-10K, SS460S,
SS460S-T2, SS460S-T3, and SS460S-LP High Sensitivity
Latching Digital Hall-Effect Sensor ICs are small, sensitive
and versatile devices that are operated by the magnetic
field from a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. They
are designed to respond to alternating North and South
poles. The SS360NT is turned on by a North pole while the
SS360ST, SS460S, SS460S-T2, SS460S-T3, and
SS460S-LP are turned on by a South pole. These sensor ICs
offer reliable switching points with a high magnetic sensitivity
of 30 G typical (55 G maximum). They do not use chopper
stabilization on the Hall element, providing a clean output
signal and a faster latch response time when compared to
competitive high sensitivity Hall-effect latching sensor ICs
which do use chopper stabilization. These products offer
reverse polarity protection, deliver a stable output over a
-40°C to 150°C temperature range, and can accept any dc
supply voltage from 3 Vdc to 24 Vdc. For brushless dc motor
manufacturers who need latching sensors with reliable,
consistent performance for more efficient and smaller
designs, Honeywell’s High Sensitivity Hall-Effect Latching
Digital Sensor ICs respond to low magnetic fields and offer
consistent repeatability while delivering faster response times
to a change in magnetic field for better motor efficiency.
These products are available in five package styles:
SS360NT, SS360ST, SS360ST-10K: SOT-23 surface-
mount package, pocket tape and reel
SS460S: Flat TO-92-style with straight standard leads,
bulk package
SS460S-T2: Flat TO-92-style with formed leads,
ammopack tape-in-box
S460S-T3: Flat TO-92-style with straight standard leads,
ammopack tape-in-box
SS460S-LP: Flat TO-92-style with straight, long leads,
pocket tape and reel

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 >Brp and <Bop). Honeywell
recommends allowing 10 µs after supply
voltage has reached 5 V (SS360NT,
SS360ST, SS360ST-10K) or 3 V (SS460S,
SS460S-T2, SS460S-T3, SS460S-LP) 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. To test the switch
against the specified limits, the switch
must be placed in a uniform magnetic
field.

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
