Grayhill – 68B

Hall effect technology provides contactless operation, facilitating a long operational life. The hall effect sensor magnetically detects the position of another moving part such as the shaft in a joystick switch or encoder. This relational position can be outputted from the device in a variety of formats, including I2C, open collector or push-pull output. Hall effect technology has the advantage of working in low voltage applications and often features a sleep mode to conserve power. Grayhill is implementing this technology across several switch types, including joysticks, toggles and rotaries.
