Switch design examples

The usual structure of a switch using a Hall IC is shown in Figure 4. In type A, the magnet moves vertically to the Hall IC package surface. In type B, the magnet moves in parallel with the Hall IC package surface.

Figure 4. Structure of switch using Hall IC
The configuration examples below show the relation between the magnet and the Hall IC (in case of EW-750B) for types A and B. The calculations are performed using the following two types of general-purpose magnets (Neodymium magnet: 5 mm x 5 mm x t1 mm Br = 1300 mT, ferrite magnet: 25 mm x 15 mm x t10 mm; Br = 300 mT). The NS polarization of the magnet is in the direction of its thickness (vertical to the Hall IC package). (* The size variation of the general-purpose magnet is large.)
The magnetic characteristics of EW-750B is shown in Table 3.

The calculations below are based on initial alignment of the magnet center with the Hall IC sensor center.

 

Type A

Figure 5 shows the relationship between distance d from the magnet surface and the magnetic flux B of two types of squarer magnets.

According to these results,the configuration of the two types of magnets and the Hall IC(EW-750B) is shown below in Table 4.

Figure 6 shows the relationship between the movement distance d and magnetic flux density B calculated when the two types of rectangular magnets move in parallel with the Hall IC package surface, assuming that the distance from the Hall IC package surface to the magnet surface is 5 mm.
