Why use the "-600" model?
Features:
- Closed-loop linear current sensor
- Primarily used for measuring AC, DC, or impulse currents with high precision and galvanic isolation
- This model uses a different Molex connector (RSD-46607-001) than the standard CSNK500M model
The CSNK500M is a current transducer based on the principle of magnetic compensation. It provides electronic measurement of DC, AC or pulsed currents, and their combinations, with galvanic isolation between the primary (high current) and secondary circuits.
This sensor is designed with high reliability and excellent temperature stability in mind. It utilizes closed-loop technology to counteract the effects of hysteresis, maintaining extremely low offset and gain errors over a very wide frequency range.
The CSNK500M-600 Honeywell Closed-loop linear current sensor may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

When the primary current flows through the through-hole, it generates magnetic flux in the magnetic core. A Hall element located in the air gap of the core senses this magnetic field and outputs a voltage signal. This signal is amplified by an internal amplifier and drives the secondary compensation coil to generate a reverse current. The magnetic field generated by this reverse current completely cancels out the primary magnetic field, keeping the core in a "zero flux" state. At this time, the compensation current in the secondary coil is proportional to the primary current being measured. By measuring this secondary current, accurate detection of the primary current can be achieved.
The "-600" type is designed specifically for applications requiring the dedicated Molex RSD-46607-001 connector. Therefore, in some automotive or heavy machinery wiring harnesses, where standard pin headers are not robust enough or incompatible with existing plug designs, the "-600" type can be used as a direct replacement.
