Phaeton 616BA 1KG Aluminum Alloy Load Cell Sensor

The load cell is designed to operate with a typical excitation voltage between 5 and 12 volts DC. Applying voltage within this range ensures optimal output signal strength (1.0 mV/V sensitivity) and maintains sensor accuracy and long-term stability. Exceeding the maximum voltage can cause overheating and damage the internal strain gauges.

Connect the load cell's color-coded wires to the HX711 module as follows: Red wire to E+, Green wire to E-, Black wire to A+, and White wire to A-. This configuration forms a Wheatstone bridge, allowing the HX711 to amplify the small mV signal for reading by a microcontroller. Ensure secure connections and proper grounding for stable readings.

No, applying a load exceeding the 1 kg (approx. 9.8 N) rated capacity can cause permanent deformation or failure of the aluminum alloy sensing element, leading to inaccurate readings or sensor damage. For safety and accuracy, always use a load cell with a capacity slightly above the maximum expected force in your application, and consider implementing mechanical stops to prevent overload.

A hysteresis of 0.03% of Full Scale (F.S.) indicates excellent measurement repeatability. It means the output signal difference when loading and unloading the sensor within its 1kg range is extremely small (0.3 grams). This low hysteresis is critical for applications requiring precise and consistent weight readings regardless of the direction of force application.
