The new Hall-Effect Joystick from Grayhill – Series 67B with a pushbutton and momentary rotation – is available from Data Modul. The hall-effect sensor magnetically detects the shaft position anywhere its 20-degree field of travel in each X and Y direction, as well as the momentary rotation around the Z axis.

With an operating power of 3mA and a built-in sleep mode of only 0.1mA max. the 67B series hall-effect sensor perfectly fits in most handheld applications.

The joystick operates at temperatures from - 40°C to +85°C. It is fully tested in ISO/IEC 17025 labs and includes environmental seal IP67 with optional sealing boot point out the outstanding performance.

It can also be used for panel mount applications where space is limited, with only 32mm in diameter and a depth behind panel of only 16mm. Its integral mounting flange has 4 threaded mounting holes in a 28mm square for easy handling and an I²C output. 

Connecting options include a 0,05-inch centerline pin header or a connector and cable assembly for easy control. A standard knob can be offered under p/n 677702. The 67B series hall-effect sensor provides contactless operation facilitating a long operating life of over 1 million cycles, and is RoHS compliant.
