What is it?

The ACS712 5A Youth is a current sensor module designed to measure both AC and DC currents up to 5A, now featuring Anime-inspired designs and upgraded functionality. Whether you’re monitoring circuits in your project or need precise current measurements, this module is a perfect choice. It includes a built-in precision voltage divider for 3.3V microcontrollers like the ESP32-S3 Youth, eliminating the need for additional components.

Why did you make it?

We wanted to address the limitations of the standard ACS712 modules on the market, particularly for 3.3V logic microcontrollers. Adding a precision resistor divider and a physical power switch makes the module easier to use and more reliable. On top of that, we added unique Anime designs inspired by eight different countries to make the module both functional and visually appealing. This combination of features ensures that your projects stand out while maintaining high performance.

What makes it special?

The ACS712 5A Youth goes beyond the typical current sensor module with these key features:

• Anime-Inspired Designs: Six unique designs, each representing one of eight countries.
• Integrated 3.3V Signal Divider: Precision resistors (0.1% accuracy) ensure compatibility with 3.3V logic microcontrollers.
• Physical Power Switch: Easily turn the module on or off for accurate calibration.
• Compact and Reliable: Perfect for precise current measurements without extra hassle.

Technical Specs:

From the Developer: The ACS712 5A Youth was born out of frustration with the standard blue modules. Adding precision components and a power switch saves time and ensures more accurate results. Plus, the Anime designs make the module a conversation starter, whether you’re working in a lab or showing off your projects to friends. Each module is carefully designed and tested, reflecting our commitment to quality and creativity.

The price reflects the small production volumes — the more boards we produce, the lower the cost per unit. With your support, we hope to lower prices over time.
