U18 Hall Effect Sensor — Unipolar Magnetic Sensor
The U18 is a compact unipolar Hall Effect sensor designed for reliable magnetic field detection in embedded systems and industrial applications. It activates when a South magnetic pole is brought close and releases when the field is removed, making it ideal for non-contact switching, speed measurement, and position sensing with Arduino and other microcontrollers.
