HO 15-NP-0000 Sensors, Transducers

Current transducers are devices used to measure and monitor the flow of electric current in an electrical circuit. The HO 15-NP-0000 application field and working principle is a product of Hittite Corporation, a company that specializes in the development of power and current measurement solutions. This particular model of current transducer is reliable and cost-effective and is ideal for use in industrial, power, automotive, and other engineering applications.

The HO 15-NP-0000 is a low cost current transducer with a range of 0.5 Adc. It can measure currents from 5 mAdc to 5 Adc and is available in a bipolar configuration. The device is based on the Hall-effect, which is a phenomenon observed in ferromagnetic materials when a current passes through them. When a magnetic field is applied across this current, the magnetic force pushes electrons in one direction, creating a measurable voltage based on the strength of the field.

The HO 15-NP-0000 operates on the principle of the Hall effect. It consists of a Hall-effect sensor which is secured to a printed circuit board and is shielded by a magnetic shield. The transducer includes a pair of Hall-effect sensors that are offset from each other by a fixed magnitude, which allows the device to detect both positive and negative current flows. The two sensors are mounted on the same side of the printed board and are connected to the input terminals of the device.

The current to be measured is applied to the input terminals, and the Hall-effect sensors detect the current and convert it into a voltage. The voltage signal is amplified by an integrated amplifier and then transmitted via an output pin of the device to a monitoring system. The HO 15-NP-0000 is designed to provide accurate current readings and has a linearity of +/- 0.1%. The device also has the capability to measure both alternating and direct current and is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from -55 to +85 degree Celsius.

The HO 15-NP-0000 has an input voltage range from 8V to 52V and measures a wide range of currents. Its durable construction and noise suppression properties make it ideal for use in harsh environments, such as heavy industrial or automotive applications. The device is also designed to withstand significant shock and vibration.

Overall, the HO 15-NP-0000 is a versatile, accurate, and reliable current transducer that is ideal for a wide variety of applications. The device is cost-effective, easy to install and use, and is designed to provide reliable and quality measurements. Its robust construction and noise suppression properties make it suitable for use in harsh environments, and its ability to measure a wide range of currents makes it an ideal choice for many applications.
