1. Ordering Codes for Hall Sensors

1.1 Overview

The Product group “Hall sensors” from Micronas comprises several families of Hall switches
and linear sensors available in a variety of packages, packaging variants, and temperature
ranges.

This brochure gives an overview of the packaging variants and explains the ordering code
system.

Special Procedure

Figure 1: Key to ordering codes

First, all components of the ordering codes are explained separately. In section 2, from page 8
onwards, the complete ordering codes for the packaging variants are shown. This overview
also serves as a selection guide. In section 4, from page 14 onwards, marking of the sensors
and available packaging units with their ordering codes are displayed.

The sensor type is determined by the application, the package, and the temperature range.
Therefore, the first part of the ordering code is already specified, while the second part
depends on the desired packaging variant.

Micronas 3
Hall Sensors: Ordering Codes, Packaging, Handling

1.2 Hall Sensor

The first three characters of the ordering codes are fixed to “HAL” as symbolic designation for
all Hall sensors.

1.3 Sensor Type

The following three digits are reserved for the designation of the sensor. Thus, the sensor type
“502” refers to the Hall sensor “HAL 502”. A detailed description of functions, features, and
parameters can be found in the data sheet “HAL 5xx”.

1.4 Package “PA”

The Hall sensors from Micronas are available in the following packages:

Table 1: Package Codes

Package Code Package Pins

UA TO-92UA leaded
UT TO-92UT leaded
SF SOT-89B SMD

1.5 Temperature Range “T”

The Hall sensors from Micronas are suitable for the following temperature ranges:

Table 2: Temperature Codes

Temperature Code Junction temperature range (TJ) of the sensors

min. max.
E −40 °C 100 °C
K −40 °C 140 °C
A −40 °C 170 °C

Note: The specified temperature ranges for all sensors in this brochure and in the data
sheets always refer to the junction temperature. On account of self-heating, the junction tem-
perature (TJ) is always higher than the ambient temperature (TA). The relationship between
junction temperature and ambient temperature is explained in the data sheet section „Applica-
tion Notes“. This allows the calculation of the maximum permissible ambient temperature for
the appropriate application.
The maximum permissible ambient temperature is always lower than the specified
junction temperature.

1.6 Configuration “C”

Three different configurations are offered.

The packages TO-92UA and TO-92UT are offered in two configurations. The basic type has
straight legs (inline, not spread; configuration “2”). For simple PCB designs, this package is
also available with spread legs (inline, spread; configuration “1“).

Table 4: Description of the configuration codes

Configuration Code Configuration Remark

1 Inline, spread see Figure 4 on page 10 and

1.7 Packaging “P”

Depending on the sensor package, different packaging variants are offered:

All sensors in the packages TO-92UA and TO-92UT are available in both bulk and carrier tape
form (Ammopack, according to IEC 286) with straight and spread legs. The four possible vari-
ants are shown in Figure 3 on page 9 by means of an example. Detailed dimensions for the
Ammopack are shown in Figure 7 on page 12 and Figure 8 on page 13.

The package SOT-89B is available in blister tapes on reels according to IEC 286. Figure 2 on
page 8 demonstrates both variants.

Table 5: Packaging Codes

Packaging Code Delivery Package

B Bulk TO-92UA and TO-92UT
A Ammopack TO-92UA and TO-92UT
R Reel SOT-89B

1.8 Quantity “Q”

The sensors are delivered in different packaging units and quantities. The packaging size is
determined by the inner packaging (basic unit) and the outer packaging (cardboard box).

Only entire packaging units (outer packaging) can be delivered.

4. Marking and Packaging

4.1 Marking of the Sensors

All sensors are marked on top of the package (branded side). Because of the small outline,
only sensor type, temperature range, and date code (date of final testing) are labeled. Marking
is done via laser beam.

502A 502A
0295 0295

Fig. 9: Marking of the sensors

The upper row includes the designation of the sensors and the junction temperature range TJ.
Marking corresponds to the information in the data sheets (section “marking code”).

In the lower row, the date code is represented as a 4-digit number.

Date Code

1st Digit 2nd Digit and 3rd Digit 4th Digit

Year (0...9) Week (1...52) Day (1...7)
9=1999, 01=Week 1 1=Monday
0=2000, to to
1=2001 52=Week 52 7=Sunday
etc.

Example:

In figure 9, the HAL 502 in temperature range “A” is depicted. The date code is 0295.
These sensors have been tested in 2000, week 29 on the fifth day (Friday): This was the 21st
of July 2000.

Fig. 10: Information on the label

The complete ordering code plus additional internal information is printed on the label. The
Micronas code number refers to this ordering code. Every packaging variant is defined by the
complete ordering code or the Micronas code number.

Moreover, the label contains the date code, the quantity of sensors, and the lot number
(Micronas charge number).

Note: The lot number on the label enables internal backtracking of the sensor. In case of fur-
ther inquiries, please provide us with this number or a copy of the label.

The label includes two barcode markings for automatic registration. The upper barcode starts
with “W”, followed by the Micronas code number, the date code, and the quantity. The lower
barcode contains the lot number (Micronas charge number).

4.3 Packaging

On the following pages, all packaging variants are shown separately.

Each quantity code refers to a particular packaging variant.

In the illustrations, the labels carry a real ordering code. All other data – especially the Micro-
nas code number – is represented symbolically.

5. Notes on Processing

All Hall sensors from Micronas are manufactured in CMOS technology and are provided with
internal ESD protection devices. In general, CMOS components may become damaged or
destroyed by electrostatic discharge (ESD).

The DIN EN 100 015 “Protection of ESD-endangered components” describes in detail the
requirements for ESD-proof working places, transport and storage. The sensors should only
be processed in working areas fulfilling these requirements.

ESD-performance is verified during the internal device qualification procedure. The results are
included in the reliability report. Please contact Micronas for detailed information.

5.1 Structure of the Sensors

Micronas uses a thermosetting mold compound. The legs are made of pure copper, which is
galvanically plated after molding. The plating consists of tin and lead.

All sensors (exception: HAL 11x family) are equipped with an active offset compensation,
which minimizes the influence of mechanical stress on the magnetic characteristics.

5.2 Soldering

The packages SOT-89B, TO-92UA, and TO-92UT are suited for all current soldering meth-
ods. During automatic or manual soldering, the temperature at the plastic package must not
exceed 260 °C.

5.3 Storage, Moisture Sensitivity Class, and Shelf Life

Storage has no influence on the electrical and magnetic characteristics of the sensors. How-
ever, under disadvantageous conditions, extended storage time can lead to alteration of the
lead plating, which affects the soldering process.

Moisture Sensitivity Class:

The package SOT-89B achieves level 1 according to J-STD-020A “Moisture/Reflow Sensitiv-

ity Classification for Non-hermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices”. If the sensors are
stored at maximum 30 °C and maximum 90% relative humidity no Dry Pack is required.

The permissible storage time (shelf life) of the sensors would be minimum 12 month, begin-
ning from the date of manufacturing (see section 4.1), if they are stored in the original packag-
ing at maximum 40 °C ambient temperature and maximum 90% relative humidity.

 Hall Sensors: Ordering Codes, Packaging, Handling

5.4 Processing

During processing of the sensors make sure that only lowest possible forces are applied to the
plastic package. Otherwise, there is a risk of mechanically damaging the package (e. g.
cracks), leading to an early failure.

This especially concerns bending, shortening of the legs, molding, fixing, and overmolding or
potting of the application.

5.5 Bending the Legs

During bending, the legs have to be fixated to avoid forces to the plastic package. Due to the
material characteristics of the copper frame, the bending radia should not be less than sug-
gested. Furthermore, the minimum distance to the plastic body has to be regarded. Other-
wise, tensions within the frame could be transmitted into the case.

Rmin = 1 mm Rmin = 0.7 mm

≥1 mm ≥1 mm

Bild 21: Minimum distances for bending

5.6 Overmolding and Potting

Due to the built-in active offset compensation, influences of overmolding or potting on the
magnetic characteristics are minimized.

During the overmolding process, make sure that only lowest possible forces are applied to the
sensor. Otherwise, there is a risk of mechanically damaging the component.
