Adafruit INA169 Analog DC Current Sensor Breakout - 60V 5A Max

This breakout board effectively addresses all your current-monitoring needs. Utilizing the INA169 chip, it allows effortless measurement of DC current draw with a user-friendly analog output grounded for stability, making it excellent for feedback-loop control systems.

Most current-measuring devices excel at low-side measuring only, complicating measurement processes by altering ground references. This breakout board simplifies this with smart high-side current measurement capabilities, tolerating up to +60VDC.

The built-in precision amplifier reads voltage across a 0.1 ohm, 1% sense resistor. Rated for continuous 2W, it measures currents up to +5A. The output voltage is proportional, producing 1V per Amp using the on-board 10K resistor. Adjustments are possible; replace the load resistor for preferred output scaling.

Package includes a 5-pin header for seamless breadboard integration and a pre-soldered 3.5mm terminal plug for easy attachment and detachment of loads. Operate effortlessly by powering via 2.7-60V to VCC, and connect V+ to the power high-side and V- to your grounded load. Measure the output voltage with a multimeter for immediate results.
