Additional Details:

The SS166AT switches when a magnetic field of sufficient strength is applied to the sensing face. Removal of the magnetic field causes the sensor to return to its original state. It is commonly supplied in a miniature flat TO-92-style package and is lead-free. The sensor output is an open collector, requiring a pull-up resistor for proper operation.
