DHS Series Digital Hall Switch

The DHS series delivers reliable, non-contact magnetic sensing with dual digital outputs for directional feedback. Designed to detect both north and south pole magnetic fields, DHS sensors function as directional limit switches, ideal for applications requiring position tracking, motion control, or directional confirmation.

Built on solid-state Hall effect technology, DHS sensors offer bounce-free operation, internal hysteresis, and stable performance across wide temperature ranges. With rugged housings and flexible connection options, they’re engineered for durability in automotive, industrial, and agricultural environments.
