Magnetic Direct Current Sensor MDCS
Outline
Magnetic direct current sensors (MDCS) use a magnetic
substance and hole device for magnetic detection of
direct current. They detect all currents (DC, AC and
pulse), and the output voltage varies in proportion to the
strength of the current measured.
Features
• Detection of both direct currents and alternating cur-
rents (including pulse currents)
• Fluctuations in output from changes in the power
supply voltage and the ambient temperature are small.
• Excellent linearity of measured current and the con-
verted power output
• The measured current and the secondary output side are
insulated.
Applications
• Inverter-based home appliances (air-conditioners, re-
frigerators, washing machines, etc.)
• General-purpose inverters • Servo motors
• Industrial machines
• Automobiles
• FAX and other multifunction telephone series (THS Series)

22 NEC TOKIN Sensors Vol.1
Before Using Magnetic Direct Current Sensor MDCS
• Strong physical shocks could damage cores. Be careful not to drop or apply other strong impact.
• These products are heat resistant up to 260°C for 10 seconds. Be careful not to exceed this amount when
soldering. Use a low-corrosion type flux when soldering.
• Because the circuit uses ICs, application of strong static electricity could cause damage. Take static electricity
precautions when handling.
• Because these products are magnetic current detectors, application of strong external magnetic fields could
cause their characteristics to change. Limit ambient magnetic fields to 50e or less.
