Abstract:
A fuel level sensor assembly includes a magnetic sensor for sensing a magnetic field corresponding to fuel level. The magnetic sensor includes a magnetic sensing element packaged within a hermetically sealed non-magnetic metal case. The magnetic sensing element may be a Hall effect, giant magnetoresistive (GMR), or anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensor. The case may correspond to the dimensions of a standard transistor outline (TO) package such as TO-3, TO-5, TO-8, TO-18, TO-39, TO-46, TO-52, or TO-72.
