CT-1020

Overview

The CT-1020 is a current sense transformer manufactured by Amgis, LLC, designed for through-hole mounting. It features a non-invasive solid core construction suitable for detecting and measuring AC current in isolated conductors. The component operates at a frequency range of 50/60Hz with a rated primary current of 20A. It provides a secondary output proportional to the primary input, facilitating accurate current monitoring in power systems.

Feature Summary

• Non-invasive solid core design allows for easy installation around existing conductors without breaking the circuit.
• Through-hole mounting style ensures secure physical attachment on printed circuit boards.
• Produces an AC current in the secondary winding that is directly proportional to the primary current flow.

Applications

• Current monitoring in AC power distribution systems
• Isolated current sensing in industrial control circuits
• Power supply feedback loops requiring galvanic isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Amgis, LLC to confirm electrical tolerances and thermal characteristics. Ensure the application environment supports the specified 50/60Hz operating frequency. Confirm that the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, non-invasive solution is required for low-frequency AC current measurement. The 20A rating defines the maximum continuous primary current capacity. Consider the physical dimensions and through-hole constraints during the mechanical design phase to ensure proper clearance and mounting stability.
