ACS711LC Current Sensor Carrier -25A to +25A
This current sensor is a carrier board or breakout board for Allegro’s ACS711KLCTR-25AB-T Hall effect-based linear current sensor with overcurrent fault output; we therefore recommend careful reading of the ACS711 datasheet (533k pdf) before using this product. The sensor has an operating voltage of 3 V to 5.5 V and an output sensitivity of 55 mV/A when Vcc is 3.3 V (or 83 mV/A when Vcc is 5 V). The following list details some of the sensor’s key features:
The pads are labeled on the bottom silkscreen, as shown in the picture to the right. The silkscreen also shows the direction that is interpreted as positive current flow via the +i arrow.
This 25 A current sensor is marked with a orange X. We also sell a 12.5 A version that uses the same carrier PCB; you can distinguish the versions by reading the text on the IC or by looking at the color of the X on the bottom silkscreen.
Warning: this product is intended for use below 30 V. Working with higher voltages can be extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by qualified individuals with appropriate equipment and protective gear.
