Product Range Guide
For innovation that’s well apart, there’s only Honeywell
With more than 50,000 products ranging from snap-action,
limit, toggle, and pressure switches to position, speed,
pressure, and airflow sensors, Honeywell has one of the
broadest sensing and switching portfolios.
Honeywell sensor, switch, and control components are
tailored to exact specifications for stronger performance,
longer productivity, and increased safety. Enhanced
accuracy and durability are built into every part, improving
output and endurance. For our customers, this can reduce
expenditures and operational costs. Our global footprint
and channels help to competitively price such components
for your chosen application and provide immediate
technical support.
While Honeywell’s switch and sensor solutions are suitable for
a wide array of basic and complex applications, our custom-
engineered solutions offer enhanced precision, repeatability,

Magnetoresistive Sensor ICs
With a built-in
magnetoresistive bridge
integrated on silicon and
encapsulated in a plastic
package, magnetoresistive
sensor ICs feature an
integrated circuit that
responds to low fields at
large distances. Potential
applications include laptops,
material handling equipment,
pneumatic cylinders, and
battery-powered equipment
including hand-held
scanners, computers, and
water/gas/electricity meters.
