The 5A ACS712 range Current Sensor Module consists of a precise, low-offset, linear Hall circuit with a copper conduction path located near the surface of the die. Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic field in which the Hall IC converts into a proportional voltage.
Sensing and controlling current flow is a fundamental requirement in a wide variety of applications including, over-current protection circuits, battery chargers, switching mode power supplies, digital watt meters, programmable current sources, etc.

?read our blog explaining Interfacing acs712 current sensor with Arduino, which provides information about the ACS712 current sensor, discussing its features, working principle, hardware requirements, and applications.
The ACS712 is a current sensor that can detect the passage of current via a conductor. If you're working on a project that involves monitoring or adjusting the amount of current flowing through a circuit, this is a great tool to have on hand.
2.How does the ACS712 sensor work?
The ACS712 sensor measures the current passing through a conductor using the Hall Effect concept. When current runs through it, a tiny integrated circuit inside senses a magnetic field surrounding a conductor. This magnetic field is then transformed into an output voltage that a microcontroller or other device can read.
3.What's the maximum current that the 5A ACS712 sensor can measure?
The 5A ACS712 sensor is capable of measuring up to 5A of current. If you're working on a project that involves monitoring or managing a moderate amount of current, this is a suitable option.
The product matches the description and I'm satisfied with it. It was packed nicely and is working well. I'll consider buying more from Robocraze in the future.
