MT9223CT-20BR5

Magn Tek · Current Sensors · SOP-8

MT9223CT-20BR5 from Magn Tek, 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 Input current positive pin (primary conductor terminal 1). Tie pins 1 and 2 together externally; primary current flows in from IP+ (pins 1,2) to IP- (pins 3,4) through the internal ~1.2 mΩ conductor. Electrically isolated from the signal side (2.4 kVrms).
2 IP+ passive Input current positive pin (primary conductor terminal 2). Must be shorted to pin 1 externally to carry full primary current.
3 IP- passive Input current negative pin (primary conductor return terminal 1). Must be shorted to pin 4 externally.
4 IP- passive Input current negative pin (primary conductor return terminal 2). Must be shorted to pin 3 externally.
5 GND power_in Signal ground for the sensor die. Reference for VCC, VOUT, and FILTER. Isolated from the primary current path (pins 1-4).
6 FILTER passive Filter pin to set output bandwidth. Connect an external capacitor CFILTER to GND; corner frequency fc = 1/(2·π·RF·CFILTER) with internal RF ≈ 1.8 kΩ. Increasing CFILTER lowers noise but proportionally increases response time (default BW = 150 kHz).
7 VOUT output Analog output signal proportional to primary current. Ratiometric to VCC; for the -20BR5 (bidirectional) variant: VOQ = VCC×0.5 (≈2.5 V at IP = 0 A), sensitivity 100 mV/A, span 0.5-4.5 V over ±20 A. DC output impedance ~5 Ω; drives loads ≥4.7 kΩ with CL up to 10 nF.
8 VCC power_in Power supply pin. 5 V single-supply operation (4.5-5.5 V), typical ICC = 14 mA (max 20 mA). Absolute max 6 V. Requires 0.1 µF CBYPASS from VCC to GND close to the pin.

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
mt9223ct-20br5.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
mt9223ct-20br5-etched.step 2.9 MB You want the part with MT9223CT-20BR5 already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 705 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.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:
