Inline Current Voltage Sensor
Core Features
- Measures both voltage and current
- Very small form factor
- Compatible with ring terminals for main power line
- Main holes spaces on 0.375" centers, for terminal strip compatibility
- Requires spacers, such as McMaster p/n 90309A003
- Solderless breadboard compatible pins
- Main terminals can be broken off for better breadboard compatibility
Variants
There are two variants of this concepts — one uses a shunt resistor and one uses a Hall effect sensor
Hall effect variant
- 1.625" x 0.5"
- Main contacts 0.2" holes on 1.125" centers
- Based on Allegro Micro ACS71x hall effect sensors
- Bipolar
- Available in ranges from current ranges from ±5A to ±30A
- Requires 5V power
- Isolation/protection to 1.2 kV
- Voltage output diode clamped to ground and power rails
Shunt variant
- 1.525" x 0.4"
- Main contacts 0.2" holes on 1.125" centers
- Unipolar
- 0-10A, 2.7V-28V range
- 0-5V full scale output on both current and voltage
- Line powered
- 0.01 Ω series resistance
