Bulk Indium Arsenide BH-700 Series
Hall
Sensors
Single Axis
Description
Designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of magnetic field measurement
applications, the BH-700 Series are small, solid-state devices that provide an output
voltage proportional to the product of control current and ambient flux density.
Five single-axis models are available to measure axial and transverse magnetic field
components with sensitivities from 7.5 to 50mV/kG and input and output resistance of several ohms.
Electrical Specifications
BH-702
a. Air gap: between concentrator and substrate, 0.0025" nominal and 0.003" maximum.
b. Sensitivity: Basic sensitivity of Hall element .15 V/A-kG min. With the unit suspended in a free field of 100 oersteds and
I
c
=200 mA, the open circuit Hall voltage is 8.0 mV min. In a closed magnetic circuit with I
c
=200 mA, V
H
is
3.2mV/Ampere turn min.
c. Polarity: With the magnetic field vector as shown and I
c
entering the red lead, the positive Hall voltage will appear at the blue lead.
a. Linearity:
V

b. Encapsulation: The BH-701 and the BH-704 are encapsulated in a rugged aluminum oxide ceramic and epoxy
case for excellent heat transfer and strength.
