Sensor
| | Sensor | Description | Active area |
| 2X-250 | 2Dex™ 2X-250 | 2Dex™ standard sensor | 0.1 mm2 |
Note: 2X-251 sensors have not been made available as plug-and-play sensors, as the calibration process nullifies the benefit afforded by 2X-251 sensors. Calibrated 2X-251 sensors would provide no benefit to accuracy compared to the more affordable 2X-250 sensors offered here.
Magnetic field performance
Performance specifications of plug-and-play sensors match that of a Hall probe and teslameter—see teslameter specifications for measurement performance details.

3-axis sensors: Both TX and YZ connectors
Hall sensor
| Designator | Signal | Sensor wire color | Cable wire color (single/X axis) | Cable wire color (Y axis) | Cable wire color (Z axis) |
| 1 | I+ | Red | Red | Yellow | Blue |
| 2 | I- | Green | White (from red pair) | White (from yellow pair) | White (from blue pair) |
| 3 | V+ | Blue | Orange | Green | Violet |
| 4 | V- | Clear (copper) | White (from orange pair) | White (from green pair) | White (from violet pair) |
Thermistor
| Designator | Signal | Sensor wire color | Cable wire color |
| 1 | T+/I+ | Green | Black |
| 2 | T-/I- | Green | White (from black pair) |
| 3 | V+ | — | Brown |
| 4 | V- | — | White (from brown pair) |
Note: The thermistor (T) leads are in a 2-lead configuration up to the point of the sensor connector (designated with T+ and T-, though these leads are not polarized and may be switched). If connector removal is desired for direct attach to user equipment, protect the thermistor calibration by ensuring the length of 2-lead wire is not altered. Trimming or adding to the amount of wire in a 2-lead configuration will cause a shift in temperature readings.
