Infineon Technologies LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1

Overview

LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 from Infineon Technologies is a mechanical linear slider adapter board designed for rapid evaluation of 3D magnetic position sensors TLV493D-A1B6, TLE493D-A2B6, and TLI493D-A2B6. It enables contactless linear position sensing with adjustable airgap (0.5–3 mm), dual magnet options (NdFeB & ferrite), and physical distance limiters. Used in automotive pedal position, industrial linear actuator feedback, and consumer appliance slide controls.

For engineers reviewing the LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 datasheet, LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 pinout, LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 application, or LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 equivalent, this adapter supports quick prototyping of out-of-shaft linear displacement detection using I²C-output 3D Hall sensors under real-world mechanical constraints including airgap variation and magnet strength selection.

Technical Context

The LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 is a passive mechanical evaluation interface-not an electronic component-and functions exclusively with Infineon's PG-SSO packaged 3D magnetic sensors. It provides calibrated linear motion (±12 mm travel) with repeatable mechanical stops and standardized mounting holes compatible with 3D Magnetic Sensor 2GO baseboards.

Its design integrates two interchangeable magnet carriers (high-strength NdFeB and low-field ferrite), three airgap spacers (0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm), and alignment features ensuring consistent sensor-to-magnet geometry across test setups-critical for validating position linearity, hysteresis, and temperature drift in magnetic field models.

FAQ

Does LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 include a sensor or electronics?

No. LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 is a purely mechanical adapter board-it contains no ICs, traces, or active components. It must be used with a separate 3D Magnetic Sensor 2GO baseboard (e.g., equipped with TLV493D-A1B6) and requires external I²C host connection for data acquisition and analysis.

Which sensors are mechanically and electrically compatible with this slider?

Only Infineon's PG-SSO packaged 3D Hall sensors: TLV493D-A1B6, TLE493D-A2B6, and TLI493D-A2B6. These share identical footprint, height, and I²C interface timing-no firmware or hardware modification is needed when swapping between them on the same 2GO baseboard.

Can LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 be used for rotary position sensing?

No. Its mechanical design supports only linear translation along a single axis. Rotary evaluation requires Infineon's ROTARY-SLIDER 2GO or dedicated angular sensor kits-this adapter lacks rotational bearings, arc guides, or center-pivot mounting features.

Is custom airgap or travel range possible with this board?

No. LINEARSLIDER2GOTOBO1 provides only the three factory-defined airgap spacers (0.5/1.5/3.0 mm) and ±12 mm travel limit. Extended ranges or non-standard gaps require mechanical redesign or use of Infineon's custom evaluation services-not supported by this off-the-shelf adapter.
