1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
This mini current transformer is a precision current sensing component designed for
AC current measurement, metering and protection in compact electronic equipment.
It uses a high-permeability ferrite / nanocrystalline toroidal core fully sealed in a
flame-retardant plastic housing, converting a large primary AC current into a small,
proportional and easily processed secondary signal. The through-hole (window) design
allows the primary conductor or busbar to simply pass through the aperture, so no
primary winding connection is required and installation is fast and non-invasive.
Two termination versions are available: a straight-pin version for direct PCB
soldering and a flying-lead version with a twisted red/black cable and a plug-in
connector for panel or harness assembly. The D-shaped low-profile body saves board
space in energy meters, power strips, chargers and control boards, while the epoxy
potting protects the winding against vibration, humidity and dust.
Built by a manufacturer with 26 years of magnetic component experience, this current
transformer is produced under an ISO 9001 quality system and supports full
customization of turns ratio, aperture size, lead length, connector type and housing
dimensions to match your circuit design.

2. PRODUCT FEATURES
- Window (through-hole) structure: the primary conductor simply passes through the
aperture, no primary winding termination and no circuit interruption required.
- Excellent linearity and low phase error, keeping measurement stable from light load
up to 120% of rated current.
- Fully potted with epoxy resin inside a UL94 V-0 flame-retardant housing for strong
resistance to vibration, humidity, dust and electrical stress.
- High isolation design with 3000 V AC withstand voltage between primary and
secondary, protecting the low-voltage measuring circuit from the power side.
- Two termination options in the same footprint family: solder pins for automated PCB
assembly, or twisted leads with connector for quick harness plug-in.
- Compact D-shaped low-profile body that saves valuable PCB area in space-limited
meters and control boards.
- Wide turns ratio library (1000:1 to 5000:1) so one mechanical platform covers many
current ranges.
- Stable temperature performance from -25 C to +85 C for indoor, cabinet and outdoor
enclosure installations.
- Low insertion impact on the measured circuit, no additional heat generation on the
primary conductor.
- Full customization: ratio, accuracy class, aperture, pin pitch, lead length, wire
gauge, connector model and label printing.
