## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-5281:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-5281:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

Pololu are offering these breakout boards with support from Allegro Microsystems as an easy way to use or evaluate their ACS72981xLR Hall effect-based, electrically isolated current sensors; Pololu therefore recommend careful reading of the [ACS72981 datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/acs72981-datasheet_398758c5124.pdf) before using this product. The following list details some of the sensor’s key features:

- Hall effect-based sensor with electrically isolated current path allows the sensor to be inserted anywhere along the current path and to be used in applications that require electrical isolation.
- Differential Hall sensing rejects common-mode fields, so the orientation of the sensor relative to uniform external magnetic fields (e.g. the Earth’s magnetic field) has less effect on the measurement.
- The conductive path internal resistance is typically 0.2 mO, and the PCB is made with 6 layers of 2-oz copper, so very little power is lost in the module.
- High-bandwidth 250 kHz analog output voltage proportional to AC or DC currents
- Less than 2 µs response time.
- Integrated digital temperature compensation circuitry allows improved accuracy over the full operating temperature range.
- Carrier boards, available in compact and large sizes, offer a variety of ways to insert it into the current path along with 0.1"-pitch (breadboard-compatible) power, ground, and output pins.
- 3.3V and 5V versions available.
- Unidirectional and bidirectional versions available.

The connection points are labeled on the bottom silkscreen. The silkscreen also shows the direction that is interpreted as positive current flow via the **+i** arrow.
