ACS711ELCTR-12AB-T

Allegro MicroSystems LLC · Current Sensors · SOP-8

ACS711ELCTR-12AB-T from Allegro MicroSystems LLC, in a SOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 IP+ passive Terminal for current being sensed (positive side of the internal copper conduction path). Pins 1 and 2 are fused internally and must be tied together on the PCB. Working voltage between the IP+/IP- side and IC side is rated to 100 VAC peak or VDC (basic isolation).
2 IP+ passive Terminal for current being sensed (positive side of the internal copper conduction path). Fused internally with pin 1; tie both externally to carry the primary current.
3 IP- passive Terminal for current being sensed (negative/return side of the internal copper conduction path). Fused internally with pin 4; tie both externally. Primary conductor resistance is ~1.2 mΩ for the LC package.
4 IP- passive Terminal for current being sensed (negative/return side of the internal copper conduction path). Fused internally with pin 3; tie both externally.
5 GND power_in Signal ground terminal for the IC (isolated from the IP+/IP- current path).
6 FAULT output Overcurrent fault output, active low, open-drain style requiring an external pull-up (RPU ≥ 1 kΩ, typ. to VCC). Trips and latches when
7 VIOUT output Analog output voltage, ratiometric to VCC, with positive slope proportional to current flowing from IP+ to IP-. Quiescent output is VCC/2 at IP=0 A; sensitivity is 110 mV/A (typ) for the 12AB variant. Drives up to CLOAD=1 nF with RLOAD ≥ 15 kΩ.
8 VCC power_in Device power supply terminal. Operates from 3 to 5.5 V single supply (3.3 V nominal); ICC ~4 mA typ, 5.5 mA max. Bypass with 0.1 µF (CBYP) to GND close to the pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
acs711elctr-12ab-t.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
acs711elctr-12ab-t-etched.step 2.6 MB You want the part with ACS711ELCTR-12AB-T already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 664 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
