ACS712ELCTR-05B-T

The ACS712ELCTR-05B-T is a high-precision, cost-effective current sensor from Allegro MicroSystems. It utilizes the Hall effect principle to measure both AC and DC currents in industrial, automotive, commercial, and communication systems. This sensor features a low-offset, linear Hall effect sensor with a copper conduction path located near the die surface.

When an application current flows through the copper conduction path, it generates a magnetic field that is sensed by the integrated Hall chip and converted into a proportional voltage. The accuracy of the device is optimized through the magnetic signal surrounding the Hall sensor. The low-offset, chopper-stabilized BiCMOS Hall chip provides a precise, proportional voltage output that is programmed after packaging.

The ACS712ELCTR-05B-T comes in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package, making it suitable for small circuit board applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and has a current measurement range of -5A to +5A. The negative value indicates the opposite direction of the current.

Due to its ability to measure bidirectional currents, low noise, and small package size, the ACS712ELCTR-05B-T is widely used in various applications such as motor control, load detection and management, switching mode power supplies, and overcurrent fault protection. It is also suitable for battery charge and discharge monitoring, power monitoring and management, electronic load monitoring, industrial automation, and instrumentation.

Overall, the ACS712ELCTR-05B-T offers a reliable and economic solution for current sensing in a wide range of applications.
