HX 10-NP

Current Sensors Overview

The HX 10-NP is a current transducer from the HX series designed for electronic measurement of DC, AC, pulsed, and mixed currents. It provides galvanic isolation between the primary high-power circuit and the secondary measurement circuit. The device features an isolated plastic case construction suitable for PCB mounting. It operates within a frequency range of DC to 50kHz with a response time of 5µs. The sensor supports bidirectional detection with selectable primary current ratings of 5A, 10A, or 20A. It utilizes open-loop Hall effect technology and offers ratio or voltage output signals. The unit requires a 5V supply voltage with a maximum supply current of 19mA.

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized LEM distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm that the specific package variant matches the required PCB footprint and pin configuration. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the selected primary current rating aligns with the application's maximum load requirements before ordering.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when open-loop Hall effect technology meets the precision requirements of the application. Consider the 5µs response time for dynamic load conditions. Evaluate the 5V single-supply constraint against available board power rails. Compare against closed-loop alternatives like the LA series if higher linearity or bandwidth is necessary for the specific design.
