ACS712 Enclosure

thingiverse

The design here is for an enclosure that safely houses an ACS712 power sensor.\r\n\r\nThe ACS712 is a cutting-edge IC that integrates Hall-Effect-based linear current sensing with 2.1 kVRMS voltage isolation and low-resistance current conduction, making it a top choice for measuring currents connected to Arduinos or Raspberry Pis.\r\n\r\nThese versatile sensors are widely available from various suppliers in multiple current measuring ranges (commonly 5A, 20A, and 30A) and are popular among makers and hobbyists alike.\r\n\r\nThe two-piece enclosure allows the sensor to sit securely in the base while enabling the attaching wires from the supply being measured to be safely secured using a strap-tie. The header pins remain accessible, isolating high-current flow areas from low-voltage points. The lid easily snaps into place on top.\r\n\r\nImportant note: Each country has its own regulations regarding electrical equipment that can be safely connected and adjusted by home users. If unsure, consult with a professional.
