WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
• DO NOT USE these products as safety or
emergency stop devices, or in any other
application where failure of the product could
result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could
result in death or serious injury.
OPERATING MODE
2SS52M Series are operated by magnetic fields
(North or South) parallel to the sensor package.
NOTICE
Due to the inherently high sensitivity of the
2SS52M, stray magnetic fields parallel to the IC
may affect operation.
SOLDERING/ASSEMBLY
Leads must be adequately supported during any
forming/shearing operation to ensure that the leads
are not stressed inside the plastic case. Recom-
mended PC board wave soldering temperature is
250 to 260°C (482 to 500°F) for 3 seconds
maximum.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS*
Supply voltage 3.8 to +30 VDC
Voltage externally +24 VDC max. (OFF cond. only)
applied to output -0.5 VDC min. (OFF or ON cond.)
Output ON current 20 mA max.
Temperature -40 to +150°C (-40 to +302°F)
Magnetic flux No limit. Circuit cannot be
damaged by magnetic overdrive.
* Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits that
the device will withstand without damage to the device.
However, the electrical and mechanical characteristics
are not guaranteed as the maximum limits (above
recommended operating conditions) are approached, nor
will the device necessarily operate at absolute maximum
ratings.
