3-Axis Magnetic Sensor
HMC1043
Advanced Information
The Honeywell HMC1043 is a miniature three-axis surface mount
sensor array designed for low field magnetic sensing. By adding the
HMC1043 with supporting signal processing, a cost effective and
space-efficient 3-axis magnetometer or compassing solution is enabled.
This ultra-compact, low cost solution is easy to assemble for high
volume OEM designs. Applications for the HMC1043 include
Compassing, Navigation Systems, Magnetometry, and Current
Sensing.
The HMC1043 utilizes Honeywell’s Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR)
technology that provides advantages over coil based magnetic sensors.
They are extremely sensitive, low field, solid-state magnetic sensors
designed to measure direction and magnitude of Earth’s magnetic
fields, from tens of micro-gauss to 6 gauss. Honeywell’s Magnetic Sensors are among the most sensitive and reliable low-
field sensors in the industry.
Honeywell continues to maintain product excellence and performance by introducing innovative solid-state magnetic
sensor solutions. These are highly reliable, top performance products that are delivered when promised. Honeywell’s
magnetic sensor solutions provide real solutions you can count on.
