Magnetic Sensors are sensor devices designed to detect and measure magnetic fields or changes in magnetic flux. They convert magnetic input into an electrical signal that can be processed by electronic systems for monitoring, control, or measurement purposes.
This category includes magnetic sensing technologies that respond to the presence, direction, or relative variation of a magnetic field. Magnetic sensors are commonly provided as discrete components or integrated devices and may incorporate signal conditioning to support stable and repeatable sensing behavior.
- Core function: Magnetic field detection and magnetic-to-electrical signal conversion
- General forms: Standalone sensors and integrated magnetic sensing devices
- Key characteristics: Non-contact sensing capability and sensitivity to magnetic field changes
