LN2F-5A:333mV(0.5%)

Current Sensors Overview

The Sentran LN2F-5A:333mV(0.5%) is a single-channel current transducer designed for precise electrical monitoring applications. It features a rated input current of 5A and provides a ratiometric analog output voltage ranging from 0V to 0.333V, corresponding to the measured current. The device achieves an accuracy class of 0.5%, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 55°C and utilizes a split-core design with a rectangular opening measuring 0.4 inches by 0.4 inches for easy installation around conductors.

Current Sensors Feature Summary

• Provides a ratiometric analog output signal proportional to the primary current
• Features a split-core design allowing non-intrusive installation on existing busbars or cables
• Delivers high measurement accuracy suitable for precision monitoring tasks
• Operates reliably across a wide industrial temperature range

Current Sensors Applications

• Industrial power distribution monitoring systems
• Battery management systems requiring precise current tracking
• Energy metering equipment for accurate consumption data
• Automotive testing and diagnostic setups

Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific model suffix indicates the 0.5% accuracy grade rather than the 0.2% variant. Confirm the physical aperture dimensions match the target conductor size. Ensure the supply voltage aligns with the ratiometric output requirements of the receiving circuitry. Check lead length specifications if direct wiring is required instead of PCB mounting.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Choose this component when a compact, split-core solution is needed for low-current applications up to 5A. The ratiometric output simplifies interface design with ADCs powered by the same reference. Consider the 0.5% accuracy sufficient for general monitoring where higher precision is not critical. Evaluate thermal constraints to ensure operation remains within the specified -40°C to 55°C range.

Current Sensors Part Context

This part belongs to the Sentran LN2F series of current transducers, which are engineered for cost-effective and space-constrained current sensing. The LN2F series typically offers smaller apertures compared to the standard LN2 line, making it ideal for tighter installations. It represents a balance between performance and form factor for modern electronic systems.

Current Sensors Replacement Considerations

The LN2F-5A:333mV(0.2%) offers higher accuracy but requires verification of mechanical fit. Standard LN2 series parts have larger openings and may not fit the same space. Direct replacements must maintain the 333mV full-scale output and ratiometric nature to avoid circuit redesign.
