A non-contact AC current sensor with a clamp-on transformer probe, capable of measuring 0–10 A AC. Simply clamp the probe around an AC line and connect the 3.5 mm plug to the signal conversion module — no wire cutting or circuit modification required.
The Gravity analogue interface outputs a 0.2–2.8 V DC signal proportional to the measured current, compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers. Ideal for monitoring AC motors, lighting, air compressors, and other mains-powered equipment.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- RMS
- RMS is a way of describing the effective level of an AC signal, such as an audio output voltage. It helps compare audio output levels more meaningfully than a peak voltage number.
