HC16F 1300-S00 Open-Loop Hall Effect Current Transducer

HC16F 1300-S00 Product Overview

The HC16F 1300-S00 is an open-loop Hall effect current transducer from LEM's HC16F series, designed for the electronic measurement of DC, AC, and pulsed currents with galvanic isolation between the primary circuit (high power) and the secondary circuit (electronic circuit). This PCB-mount sensor is specifically engineered for high-power automotive motor control applications, including electrical power steering (EPS), starter generators, and motor drive applications.

Rated for 1300 A nominal with a measuring range of ±1300 A, it outputs an instantaneous ratiometric voltage signal of 2.5 V ± 2 V at rated current. Accuracy is 1.75% with ±0.5% linearity and a sensitivity of 1.54 mV/A. Response time is 4 µs and frequency bandwidth is DC to 40 kHz. Supply voltage range is 4.85 to 5.15 V DC (unipolar, 5 V nominal) with a maximum supply current of 35 mA. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. Mass is 29 g with dimensions of 37.2 x 32.6 mm. Mounting is PCB through-hole (THT) with a module package. Housing is PPS-I-(GF + MD) 50. Product status is Active with a lead time of 14 weeks from major distributors.

HC16F 1300-S00 Key Advantages

The HC16F 1300-S00 features a compact, lightweight design (29 g, 37.2 x 32.6 mm) that enables direct mounting on gate driver boards in inverter systems, saving valuable board space. The open-loop Hall effect technology combined with LEM's proprietary ASIC and specially designed dual air-gap magnetic core delivers excellent accuracy, very good linearity, and extremely low thermal offset and sensitivity drift over temperature. The dual ASIC configuration provides high immunity to external magnetic interference, effectively eliminating cross-talk from adjacent conductors.

The circular aperture accommodates both rectangular and round busbars, offering flexibility in busbar design, and the housing features a sleeve that passes through the PCB, providing insulation for busbars and meeting high-voltage isolation requirements in automotive systems. The ratiometric output (full ratiometric in sensitivity and offset) simplifies integration with ADC-based control systems, while the unipolar 5 V supply and automotive-qualified specification (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) ensure robust performance in demanding automotive environments.
