Current Sensors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix S6 against official LEM documentation to ensure correct pinout and mounting compatibility. Confirm that the component status remains acceptable for your project lifecycle, as it is designated Not For New Designs. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications for thermal and electrical limits before integration into final assemblies.

Current Sensors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 500A bidirectional current measurement is required in a compact module form factor. Ensure the application environment supports the thermal dissipation characteristics of closed-loop Hall sensors. Verify that the single-channel requirement aligns with system complexity and that the pass-through design fits within available spatial constraints.
