Crocus Technology Introduces High Dynamic Range TMR MagneticField Sensors

Crocus Technology CT219

The CT219 is a contactless magnetic field sensor with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range that revolutionizes systems with legacy technologies such as Hall Effect and Current Transformers

Crocus Technology announces the availability of the CT219 magnetic field sensor. With industry-leading TMR technology, the CT219 makes older technologies obsolete due to its contactless nature, high sensitivity, and high dynamic range when used in a close-loop configuration. The CT219 would make it safer to deal with high current systems, significantly reduce the size and weight when replacing Current Transformers, and drive compact and green technology designs. The CT219 is also capable of measuring, with high accuracy, linear-distance movements induced by a magnetic field in applications such as gear measurements, servo-controlled motion systems, printers, automotive and robotics.
