ACS712 20A Current Sensor Module

Description

The ACS712 20A Range Current Sensor Module is a Hall-effect based current sensing module designed to measure AC and DC current up to ±20A. It converts the detected current flow into a proportional analog voltage output, allowing microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32 to monitor electrical current in real time.

Based on the ACS712-20A current sensor IC, this module provides electrical isolation between the high-current path and the control circuit, making it suitable for applications requiring safe current monitoring. It is commonly used in battery monitoring systems, motor control, solar energy projects, power supplies, robotics, and IoT energy monitoring applications.

The module provides an analog output signal with a sensitivity of approximately 100mV/A, with the output voltage centered around 2.5V when no current is flowing. This makes it easy to interface with the analog input pins of most microcontroller boards.
