The ACS712 5A Current Sensor Module is a Hall-effect-based current sensing module designed to accurately measure both AC and DC currents up to ±5A. Built around the Allegro ACS712ELCTR-05B current sensor IC, the module provides an analog voltage output that is directly proportional to the measured current while offering galvanic isolation between the current-carrying conductor and the output circuitry for enhanced safety and reliability.

Operating from a 5V DC supply, the module offers a high sensitivity of 185mV/A, making it ideal for measuring low currents with excellent resolution. The ACS712 features a low-resistance internal conductor, fast response time, and low-noise analog output, making it suitable for battery monitoring, power supplies, motor control, overcurrent protection, solar energy systems, and embedded electronics projects. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi (with ADC where required), PIC, AVR, and other microcontrollers, the ACS712 5A module is widely used in current monitoring and power management applications.
