About

The Mag566 is a low-cost miniature fluxgate magnetometer featuring a single board assembly and electronic circuitry. It boasts a high degree of environmental protection, making it resistant to shock and vibration, and is ideal for low-power battery applications and integration into multi-sensor arrays. Key features include operation from a ±5V supply with a low 20mW power consumption, a measuring range of ±100μT, and a bandwidth of 0 to 30-40Hz. The electronics are encapsulated in epoxy resin, and the device has been drop tested in accordance with MIL-STD-810F. Typical applications for the Mag566 include vehicle surveillance, orientation control, incorporation in multi-sensor surveillance systems, use in remote installations, and navigation. Notably, Mag566 sensors are part of the Lunar Vertex mission, heading to the Moon aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
