Inertial Aerosystems updates magnetic sensor

An Inertial Aerosystems UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 9, 2008

Inertial Aerosystems has introduced the HMC 1043, an enhanced version of their full three-axis magnetic chip sensor.

The compact, lightweight device is manufactured by Honeywell, and is now RoHS-compliant.

The internal change from Eutectic solder material of 63 per cent tin to 97 per cent tin, 3 per cent silver is part of Honeywell's strategy to meet EU environmental standards.

Designed for high-volume magnetometry and magnetic compass applications it is suitable for GPS receivers, robotics, security equipment, mobile phones, disability aids and process monitoring.

By using anisotropic magnetorestive technology, the product has many advantages over fluxgate magnetic sensors, such as being sensitive to low fields and having low hysteresis.

Requiring only 2V DC, and with its low-noise passive-element design, it is compatible with battery-powered operations.

It can also be used in strong magnetic environments, and has stray magnetic field compensation and set/reset straps.

It is available in tape and reel packaging for easy high-volume assembly.
