The WCS1600 current sensor module is designed for high-precision current detection up to 100A. It features two primary outputs: an amplified analog signal suitable for A/D conversion in microcontrollers, and a digital switch output that activates when current surpasses a user-defined threshold. An onboard LED provides visual indication of overcurrent events. With wide temperature tolerance and robust electrical insulation, the WCS1600 is ideal for demanding power and automation systems.
