P7700 Ferrous Activated Proximity Sensor

The Series 7700 and 7710 proximity sensor is a non-contact, solid state device with a switched output. This device operates effectively to the presence of a ferrous steel or permanent magnet target. A 2mm operating air gap can easily be obtained with a ferrous metal disc target equal to the sensor package diameter. This device uses a Hall Effect sensor with a specialized magnetic circuit that is factory calibrated for optimum performance and consistent repeatability. In addition, electronic hysteresis built into the device eliminates false triggering due to mechanical backlash and vibration. The sensor circuit is encapsulated in a Nickel-plated, Brass housing for use in rugged and wet environments. Its unique design provides a cost-effective solution for a wide range of proximity sensing applications.
