Honeywell Technologies Hall Effect Sensor Side, Digital Output, Fixed Body, 30 V dc 30V

Honeywell SR17 Series Hall Effect Sensor, 30V Maximum Supply Voltage, 20mA Switching Current - SR17C-J6

This Hall effect sensor detects magnetic fields and provides a digital switching output for integration into control and sensing systems. Designed for side mounting, it suits Compact assemblies where a fixed-position magnetic switch is required. The device operates across a broad temperature range, making it appropriate for equipment exposed to varying ambient conditions.

Features and Benefits:

• Digital output supports straightforward on/off signalling
  Maximum supply voltage 30V enables connection to common control buses
  Switching current 20 mA allows direct drive of low-power loads
  Wire terminals permit flexible wiring and installation
  Operating range -20°C to 85°C suits diverse environmental conditions
  Fixed side-mount body simplifies secure, repeatable placement

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on automated actuators and valves
  Ideal for proximity detection in conveyor and material-handling systems
  Used for rotational speed or index sensing in motor control units
  Can be used for door and LID open/closed monitoring in machinery
  Used with miniature assemblies requiring a Compact magnetic switch

What electrical limitations should I observe when connecting it?

Do not exceed 30V DC on the supply or the maximum DC voltage rating
keep loads within the 20 mA switching current to prevent contact or device stress.

How does the mounting style affect alignment needs?

The side-mount configuration requires lateral access for correct sensor-to-magnet positioning and secures the sensor in a fixed orientation to maintain consistent switching thresholds.

What environmental temperatures can it tolerate during operation?

It reliably operates down to -20°C and up to 85°C, suitable for many industrial environments but not for conditions beyond this range.

How does the Terminal type influence installation practices?

Wire terminals allow routed cabling and strain-relief techniques, enabling easier field wiring in confined installations and reducing mechanical stress on connections.
