Molex has brought out its Percept Current Sensors to provide busbar current sensors in industrial and automotive applications.
The sensors combine Infineon’s coreless current sensors and Molex’s electronics packaging to reduce size and weight while simplifying installation and system integration.
This enables higher-density packaging within devices, reduced weight and greater design flexibility.
The devices offer increased sensing opportunities in space-constrained applications as well as those sensitive to EMI. They provide accuracy within 2% across a wide temperature range and entire product lifespan.
They are available in industrial- and automotive-grade options, encompassing full-differential and single-ended output modes and bi-directional sensing.
Available current ranges include +/-450.0 to +/-1,600.0A; operating temperatures extend from -40 to 125°C in accordance with AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standards.
Sensors for industrial applications are slated for October 2024 availability, followed by automotive application product approval process planned for the first half of 2025.
Limited engineering samples for industrial applications are available today.
