Compact claims for PCB-mounting current
transducer
The HTS 10-P is claimed as the smallest current transducer in its range occupying only 17 x 19 x 10.5mm on a printed circuit board.
The HTS 10-P is claimed as the smallest current transducer in its range occupying only 17 x 19 x 10.5mm on a printed circuit board Using a unipolar power supply of 0 to +5V, it allows bipolar current measurement of 10A RMS nominal, supplying a ratiometric voltage output

Current sensors slip on in a trice
LEM has three families of split-core current sensors that can be clamped around a busbar or cable without moving the conductor.
Speedy installation for current transducers
LEM has new families of current transducers with an innovative design that dramatically reduces installation time.
The initial offset at no primary current (Vdd/2), as well as the gain (Vdd x 20mV/A) at +25C are then directly dependent on the supply voltage used.
With a measuring range of up to +/-15A peak, it is particularly suitable for detecting overloads.
The size, the wide operating temperature range (-40 to +85C) and the unipolar power supply targets have been achieved by using an ASIC.
The HTS 10-P is supplied with a tolerance of +/-12% for the initial offset and +/-30% for the gain at +25C.
When the transducer is used with a microcontroller, these tolerances can be improved.
Otherwise, the HTS 10-P/SP1 version, with tolerances upgraded to +/-3 and +/-20%, respectively, for the initial offset and for the gain at +25C, is also available.
This version also offers better thermal offset and gain drift.
The performance and low cost of the HTS 10-P series make it particularly suitable for industrial applications (the device complies with the EN50178 standard and is marked CE) such as: garage door openers; electric doors, gates, shutters and awnings; and electric power seats.
It is also suitable for low-power, low-cost drives, where the transducer can provide detection, monitoring and safety.
LEM Components offers a five-year warranty for each transducer.
