KMXP SERIES

Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive (AMR)

Linear Position Sensors

Position sensors play an increasingly important role in many

industrial, robotic and medical applications. Advanced

applications in harsh environments need sensors that perform

well, even when exposed to oil, dirt and dust.

The TE Connectivity KMXP position sensor is the right choice to

meet those needs thanks to its Magneto Resistive technology

and available form factors. The KMXP sensor provides greater

precision than commonly used Hall sensors and is designed to

provide reliable and accurate measurements in harsh

environments including high temperatures.

The sensor measuring principle is based on the anisotropic

magneto resistance effect (AMR effect).

The sensors are offered in two different DFN packages for

multiple orientation options. These packages can be easily

integrated to almost any automated assembly process.

FEATURES



High Resolution and high precision

–

Magneto Resistive (MR) sensor with

contactless measurement which provides

accuracy of 10-50 µm in ranges between 1

–

5 mm.



Easy Assembly

– DFN package ideal for any

PCB assembly processes.



Tape & Reel packaging for easy integration



Design Freedom

– Perpendicular or flat

soldering versions and a small sensor wall

thickness for large application air gaps.



Superior Performance

– Up to 150°C, EMC

proof in any dirty environment and

insensitive to dirt, oil or dust.

APPLICATIONS

Contactless linear or angular position

measurement in applications like:



Industrial machinery like sawing or

drilling equipment



Medical high precision mechanical

controls like bed control, advanced

prosthesis steering, precision

catheters, X-ray equipment, or

syringe pumps



Robotics in industrial automation
