With an integrated 2 mΩ (0.002Ω) 0.1% shunt resistor and 16-bit ADC, it handles up to +36V DC at 15A continuous — delivering better than 1% accuracy over I2C.\n\nUnlike low-side-only sensors that shift ground references, or high-side sensors that need swappable shunt resistors, the INA260 works on either side with no external shunt required. It's compatible with 3.3V or 5V logic and works with Arduino, CircuitPython, and Raspberry Pi.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nUp to +36V DC, 15A Continuous – Wide measurement range for high or low-side sensing\n\nIntegrated 2 mΩ Shunt Resistor – 0.1% precision, no external shunt needed\n\n16-bit ADC – 1.5 mA current resolution with automatic power calculation\n\nHigh or Low-Side Measurement – Flexible wiring topology for any circuit configuration\n\nI2C Interface – Simple two-wire connection; up to 4 sensors per bus via address jumpers\n\n3.3V & 5V Compatible – Works with Arduino, CircuitPython, Raspberry Pi, and more\n\nBus Voltage Reporting – Monitors the supply voltage alongside current for complete power analysis\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nBattery and solar panel power monitoring\nHigh-current DC system profiling (up to 15A)\nEmbedded power consumption analysis\nProjects requiring both current and voltage measurement without external shunt resistors\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit INA260 Power Sensor Breakout (assembled)\n1× 5.08 mm Terminal Block\n1× Header Strip\n\n\n\nNote: For low-side bus voltage measurement, cut the jumper connecting V+ to VBUS on the back and wire VBUS to your voltage bus directly. Some light soldering is required to attach the header and terminal block.\n\n\n\nWarning: Not for use with AC voltages. DC only, up to +36V.\n\n\nResources\n\nAdafruit INA260 Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":5271,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-4226","price":21.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":101,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
