Product Description

SS41F Hall Effect Sensor TO92 3Pin Bipolar Magnetic Switch

Digital Bipolar Magnetic Field Detection Sensor for Arduino

The SS41F Hall Effect Sensor is a versatile, TO92 packaged digital magnetic switch designed to respond to both north and south magnetic poles [citation:1][citation:7]. This sensor features an opendrain output that switches low when a sufficiently strong magnetic field is detected, making it an essential component for position sensing, speed measurement, and ring magnet applications [citation:1][citation:4].

Wide operating voltage: 4.5V to 24V DC [citation:1][citation:4]
Output: Opendrain digital output requires pull-up resistor [citation:1]
Features bipolar operation - responds to both north and south poles [citation:1][citation:4]

Wiring Guide

SS41F PinArduino PinDescription
VCC (Pin 1)5VConnect to 5V (or 3.3V)
GND (Pin 3)GNDCommon ground
OUT (Pin 2)Digital PinWith 10K pull-up resistor

> Always use a pullup resistor (4.7K10KΩ) between VCC and OUT

Without pull-up resistor, output signal will be unreliable
Do not connect OUT directly to VCC or GND

How It Works

The SS41F is a bipolar sensor, meaning it responds to both north and south magnetic poles with hysteresis [citation:1][citation:4][citation:5]:

  1. No Magnet: Output is HIGH (due to pull-up resistor)
  2. South Pole Detected (B > BOP): Output switches to LOW (GND) [citation:5]
  3. North Pole Detected (B < BRP): Output switches to HIGH [citation:5]
The sensor is a bipolar switch - operates with alternating north and south poles [citation:1][citation:4]
BOP Operating Point (magnet turnon), BRP Release Point (magnet turnoff) [citation:5]

Output Characteristics

ConditionOutput StateMagnetic Field
South Pole Present (B > BOP)LOW (0V)Sensor triggered [citation:5]
North Pole Present (B < BRP)HIGHSensor released [citation:5]

> Output is opendrain only pulls to ground

Pull-up resistor is required to get HIGH state
Maximum output current: 20mA sink [citation:4]
