TDK Corporation has extended its Micronas 3D HAL position sensor family with the new dual-die sensor HAR 3920-2100 for automotive and industrial applications. This was designed to meet the demand for highly accurate both linear and angular position measurements in the presence of disturbing magnetic stray fields. Developed in accordance with ISO 26262, the HAR 3920 fulfills ASIL C requirements, making it suitable for integration into automotive safety-related systems up to ASIL D. They are suitable for applications such as accelerator pedal position or throttle valve position measurement or as non-contact potentiometer. The start of production is planned for April 2024; samples are already available on request.
Designed for automotive and industrial applications, the HAR 3920 operates in an ambient temperature range from –40°C to +160°C, dependent on the supply voltage range. Compact and versatile, the sensor is available in a 16-pin SSOP16 SMD package.
