Description

Built around the Allegro ACS712ELCTR-20A-T chip, this current sensor reads AC or DC currents between 0 and 20 A. It has 3 pins (supply and analogue output) and a 2-way terminal block where the load is connected, just like a traditional ammeter. The output gives 100 mV for every Ampere read and 2.5 V when the current is zero. Power supply: 5 VDC, Vout: 100 mV / A, measuring range: 0 to 20 A.
