SS451A

Honeywell · Hall Switches · TO-92S

SS451A from Honeywell, in a TO-92S. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VS power_in Supply voltage pin, operating range 3 V to 24 V DC (absolute maximum -28 V to 28 V), with 3.5 to 6 mA typical supply current.
2 GND power_in Ground (-) reference pin for the supply and the sinking output.
3 OUT output Current-sinking digital output that goes low (Vsat max 0.4 V at 20 mA) when a North or South pole is sensed, up to 20 mA max output current, applied voltage -0.5 V to 28 V, and 10 µA max leakage when off.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SS451A
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_THT:TO-92_Inline
  • 3D model: TO-92S (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: ss451a-etched.step / ss451a-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); ss451a.step / ss451a.glb are the bare package body.
