Product Summary

The FLC-100 is a Miniature fluxgate sensor with high sensitivity Measurement range ±100μT, DC to 1 kHz. The FLC-100 can be used in any application where the sensitivity and stability of conventional magnetic field sensors (Hall or MR sensors) is too low, e.g. for the measurement of the earth’s magnetic field (for navigation) or if ferrous objects should be detected at larger distances. The applications of the FLC-100 include Measurement of the earth’s magnetic field, navigation, Detection of fields from power lines, Current measurement, Distance sensors, Magnetic signatures, Vehicle detection, traffic control, Material and package inspection, Residual field measurement (shielding effectiveness).
