ACS712 5AMP AC/DC Current Sensor

Description:

• The ACS712 sensor employs the Hall effect to measure current.
• The Hall effect is a concept in physics where a magnetic field influences the motion of electrons in a conductor, resulting in a measurable voltage across the conductor.
• In the ACS712, this principle is used to provide a proportional voltage output corresponding to the current passing through the sensor.
• The sensor gives accurate measurement of current in both AC and DC circuits, which allows it to monitor power consumption. 
• The sensor has three pins VCC, GND and OUT which gives an easy connection with microcontrollers.
