NOTICE

These Hall-effect sensor ICs may have an

initial output in either the ON or OFF state

if powered up with an applied magnetic

field in the differential zone (applied

magnetic field >Brp and <Bop). Honeywell

recommends allowing 10 μs after supply

voltage has reached 3 V (VF460S) or 5 V

(VF360NT, VF360ST) for the output

voltage to stabilize.

NOTICE

The magnetic field strength (Gauss)

required to cause the switch to change

state (operate and release) will be as

specified in the magnetic

characteristics. To test the switch

against the specified limits, the switch

must be placed in a uniform magnetic

field.

NOTICE

Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device will momentarily withstand without damage to the device. Electrical

and mechanical characteristics are not guaranteed if the rated voltage and/or currents are exceeded, nor will the device

necessarily operate at absolute maximum ratings.
