Package selection can influence the mechanical design of the flow meter, as size of the package and plane of sensitivity dictates Hall-effect sensor location. This is most realized in comparing surface mount packages to a leaded TO-92 package. Figure 2-6 displays the difference in sensing direction of traditional and in-plane Hall-effect sensors in SOT-23 and TO-92 packages. Alternatively, if mechanical constraints limit Hall sensor mounting options, in-plane sensors can be used to sense magnetic fields lateral to the package (see Figure 2-6).
