Honeywell, a diversified technology and manufacturing leader, introduced its SS361RT and SS461R Bipolar Latch, Hall-Effect Magnetic Position Sensors, giving customers the opportunity to help reduce manufacturing costs, since the new sensors' enhanced sensitivity enables the use of less expensive magnets in some applications.

In addition, the SS361RT sensor is supplied on tape and reel, allowing for automated, high-volume, lower-cost pick-and-place assembly, while the SS361RT sensor's very small footprint takes up less space on the printed circuit board, typically allowing for a reduction in costs.
