INA169 Analog DC Current Sensor 60V 5A

Wide 60V DC Common-Mode Input Range: Measures high-side DC currents across a broad 2.7V to 60V bus voltage range, making it ideal for multi-cell Li-ion batteries and industrial DC power lines.

Continuous High-Side Current Sensing: Converts high-side differential shunt voltage drops directly into a proportional ground-referenced output current.

Onboard Precision Shunt Resistor: Equipped with an onboard R100 (0.1 Ω) 1% sensing resistor capable of continuously measuring DC currents up to 5A.

Flexible External Load Scaling: Output current flows through an external load resistor (R_OUT), allowing simple voltage-scaling customization to match any microcontroller ADC input range (3.3V or 5.0V).

Low Quiescent Power Consumption: Draws minimal operational current with low offset drift, perfect for energy-efficient IoT logging and battery-powered applications.

Housing & Board Material: High-grade FR-4 glass-epoxy PCB with surface-mount INA169 IC, precision 0.1 Ω shunt resistor, terminal block, and gold/tin-plated header pins.

Technical Specifications:

Input Bus Voltage Range (V_IN+): 2.7V - 60V DC.

Operating Supply Voltage (V_CC): 2.7\V - 60V DC.

Max Measurement Current: Up to 5A DC.

Shunt Resistor Value: 0.1 Ω (100mΩ).

Color: Blue PCB with Blue Screw Terminal Block and Silver Pins.

Usage Advice: Wire the target DC power supply and load in-line across the screw terminal block; supply VCC (2.7V-60V) and GND, and route the OUT pin directly to an analog ADC pin on your microcontroller.

Maintenance: Ensure screw terminals are firmly tightened; handle using proper ESD precautions and keep the PCB free from moisture, static charges, and metallic dust.

Essential High-Voltage DC Current Monitor: Position as a top-grade analog current transducer for solar charge controllers, robotics battery management, high-voltage motor drivers, and automotive telemetry.

Highlight High-Side 60V Voltage Overhead: Emphasize how 60V high-side tolerance handles demanding higher-voltage battery setups that exceed standard 26V current sensors like the INA219.

Recommended Cross-Sell Add-ons: Pair with INA219 Bi-directional DC Current Power Supply, INA226 IIC Bidirectional current sensor, ACS712T 20A Range Current Sensor, and ESD antistatic mat 50x40CM PCB Welding Mat.
