TE Sensor Solutions KMXP Series Position Sensors utilize Magneto Resistive (MR) technology, offering high resolution and precision. The KMXP position sensors are available in two different DFN packages, allowing for versatile orientation options and easy integration. These position sensors support maximum supply voltage of 10V and operate at a temperature range from -40°C to +150°C. KMXP position sensors provide options for perpendicular or flat soldering and are packaged in tape and reel for seamless PCB assembly. Typical applications include advanced prosthesis steering, drilling equipment, robotics, and X-ray equipment.

Do you need a contactless position sensor that works reliably, even if it’s covered in dirt, dust, or mud, and do you need more accuracy than a typical Hall sensor? Then I have a solution that would make even Lord Kelvin proud. TE Connectivity KMXP series position sensors enable measurements with accuracy of 10 to 50 microns, with sub-micron resolution when used in linear measurements.
The KMXP is a magnetoresistive sensor, so it isn’t affected by common contaminants, and it can operate at temperatures up to 150 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for the harshest environments. The sensor is housed in a DFN package, so it can easily be integrated in end applications, with perpendicular and flat solderable variants available for more design freedom. TE’s KMXP series position sensors are offered with 1mm to 5mm pole pitch and are an ideal position sensing solution for industrial machinery, medical devices, and industrial robotics.
