The SL353 series Sensors are also very cost-effective devices. By using BiCMOS technology, Honeywell has been able to design a reduced size integrated circuit. This may help save on manufacturing costs while still meeting customer requirements. These savings can potentially result in lower costs to customers. Additionally, because they can be operated by a North pole or a South pole, they do not require the magnet polarity of the magnet to be identified. This can make the installation easier and reduce the system cost. SL353 series is supplied on tape and reel, which allows for automated, lower-cost pick and place assembly. Supplying the sensor on tape and reel can allow for a compact design with automated component placement, helping to reduce manufacturing costs. The sensor’s RoHS-compliant materials meet Directive 2002/95/EC.
