About this item

The SparkFun SEN-13679 Current Sensor Breakout uses the ACS723 Hall-effect sensor to provide accurate, isolated current sensing in a compact, easy-to-use breakout board. The ACS723 sensor detects current flowing through a conductor by measuring the magnetic field generated, enabling non-contact current measurement for both AC and DC currents. This technology ensures electrical isolation between the measurement circuit and the current-carrying conductor, enhancing safety and reliability. This breakout board supports currents up to ±30A, making it ideal for medium-power applications such as motor control, battery monitoring, and power management systems. It outputs an analog voltage proportional to the measured current, which can be read by microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other embedded systems for real-time monitoring and control. The SEN-13679 breakout includes a low-noise amplifier, stable voltage output, and a wide operating voltage range, simplifying integration into various projects. Its compact design and screw terminals allow for quick and secure connections. The sensor is ideal for DIY projects, robotics, renewable energy systems, and industrial applications where precise current sensing is crucial.
