Inertial Aerosystems have introduced a new enhanced version of their full three axis magnetic chip
sensor (HMC 1043). This innovative device is manufactured by U S based Honeywell. This model is now available as RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. The internal change from using Eutectic solder material of 63% Sn to a new material of 97%Sn 3%Ag, is part of Honeywell’s strategy to meet EU environmental standards
The small size and low weight of the 1043 makes it ideal for where space and weight are at a premium. Designed for high volume magnetometry and magnetic compass applications it is ideal for use in GPS receivers, robotics, security equipment, mobile phones, disability aids and process monitoring. By using the established anisotropic magnetorestive technology, the product has many advantages over fluxgate magnetic sensors, such as being sensitive to low fields and having low hysteresis. Requiring only 2V DC and with its low noise passive element design, it is compatible with battery powered operations. It can also be used in strong magnetic environments, and has stray magnetic field compensation, low noise and patented set / reset straps. It is available in tape and reel packaging for ease of high volume assembly.
