Answers to Common Questions about TMR Magnetic Sensors
August 3, 2021
Due to their low power consumption, high sensitivity, small size and ready availability, RedRock® Magnetic Sensors are popular alternatives to existing Hall Effect Sensors and Reed Switches. Common design questions about RedRock® TMR Magnetic Sensors are addressed by a Coto Technology TMR Application Engineer.
Topics include:
- Is a decoupling capacitor required? If so, what is the optimal value?
- Where is the optimum location to position the decoupling capacitor for proper sensor operation?
- What are the effects of external resistors on the output pins relative to overall current consumption?
- What are the effects of external resistors on the input pins relative to initial sensor startup?
- What should I know when using multiple sensors?

New Board-to-Board Connectors
July 18, 2018
Mill-Max has developed a line of Horizontal SMT (HSMT) headers and sockets ideally suited for low profile parallel board-to-board or board-to-component mating. The removable plastic cap provides the convenience of a traditional connector and once removed, delivers an interconnect system with a minimal surface mount profile. These new sockets, 835-43-0XX-40-030001, and headers, 328-10-1XX-40-020001 are…
Mill-Max Zero8 SMT PCB Connector with 0.8mm Pitch
January 5, 2019
Mill-Max has recently launched its zero profile receptacles which eliminates any above board connector protrusion, enabling overall package height to be reduced. These receptacles have a precision machined, hexagon shaped flange which is pressed into the PCB Plated Through-Hole (PTH) until flush with the surface of the board. No soldering is required as the press-fit…
Pin Technology Comparison: Through-Hole vs Surface Mount
August 22, 2023
Within the ever-changing landscape of electronic components and printed circuit boards (PCBs), two fundamental pin technologies continue to stand out: through-hole and surface mount. These distinct methods both serve the essential purpose of linking components to PCBs, yet they differ significantly in terms of design, assembly techniques, and their diverse applications. As an established…
