the device at up to 5× overcurrent conditions. The terminals of the

conductive path are electrically isolated from the signal leads (pins

5 through 8). This allows the ACS712 to be used in applications

requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or

other costly isolation techniques.

TheACS712 is provided in a small, surface mount SOIC8 package.

The leadframe is plated with 100% matte tin, which is compatible

withstandardlead(Pb)freeprintedcircuitboardassemblyprocesses.

Internally,thedeviceisPb-free,exceptforflip-chiphigh-temperature

Pb-based solder balls, currently exempt from RoHS. The device is

fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.
