Description
This is breakout board integrates Hall Effect based linear ACS712ELCTR-20A-T current sensor and provides a precise current measurement for both AC and DC signals. The ACS712ELCTR-20A-T outputs an analog voltage output signal that varies linearly with sensed current. The breakout board requires a 5VDC power supply. The advantage of using a Hall effect sensor is that the circuit being sensed and the circuit reading the sensor are electrically isolated.
Please Note: Although the chip itself is rated for up to 2.1kV (RMS) of isolation, the board has not been designed for such high voltage applications.

ACS712 20A Hall-Effect Current Sensor Breakout Dimensions
A Hall-Effect current sensor breakout is a type of sensor that is used to measure the current flowing through a wire or conductor. The sensor uses the Hall-Effect principle, which involves the generation of a voltage across a conductor when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the current flow. This voltage is proportional to the current flowing through the conductor and can be measured to determine the current flow. The Hall-Effect current sensor breakout is a compact and easy-to-use device that can be easily integrated into electronic circuits or systems. It typically consists of a small circuit board with a Hall-Effect sensor, an amplifier, and an output circuit. The output of the sensor can be either analog or digital, and the sensor can be calibrated to provide accurate and reliable measurements over a wide range of currents. Hall-Effect current sensor breakouts are commonly used in a variety of applications, including power management, motor control, and energy monitoring, among others.
