## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-5257:1` (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-5257:1.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)

## Description

The ACS72981KLRATR-150B3 Current Sensor Compact Carrier is designed for nominal 3.3 V operation and is intended for bidirectional input current from -150 A to +150 A. This version can be visually distinguished from other versions by the “3V3 B15” printed on the bottom side.

This compact carrier features the ACS72981KLRATR-150B3, which outputs a ratiometric analog voltage on VIOUT that is centered at VCC/2 and changes by 8.8 mV × (VCC/3.3 V) per amp of input current, with positive current increasing the output voltage and negative current decreasing the output voltage.

The sensor has five required connections: the input current (IP+ and IP-), logic power (VCC and GND), and the sensor output (VIOUT). The sensor requires a supply voltage of 3.0 V to 3.6 V to be connected across the VCC and GND pads, which are labeled on the bottom silkscreen.

This product is intended for use below 30 V. Working with higher voltages can be extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by qualified individuals with appropriate equipment and experience.

**Warning:** Exceeding temperature or current limits can cause permanent damage to the sensor. If you are measuring an average continuous current greater than 50 A, it is strongly recommended that you monitor the sensor’s temperature and look into additional cooling if necessary. This product can get hot enough to burn you long before the chip overheats. Take care when handling this product and other components connected to it.
