Phaeton CZL-611CD-01 Load Cell Sensor 5KG Weighing Screw-fastened

The CZL-611CD-01 load cell is designed for a typical excitation voltage of 5 to 12V DC. Applying voltage within this range ensures optimal output sensitivity (1.0 mV/V) and maintains sensor longevity. Exceeding the maximum recommended voltage can cause overheating and permanent damage to the internal strain gauges.

Connect the load cell wires as follows: Red to E+, Green to E-, Black to A+, and White to A- on the HX711 module. This standard configuration corresponds to excitation positive/negative and signal positive/negative. Ensure secure connections and proper grounding on your PCB or breadboard to minimize electrical noise for stable weight readings.

This sensor is primarily designed for static or quasi-static weight measurement. While it can respond to dynamic loads, its performance for impact measurement is not specified. For best accuracy, use it in applications where the load is applied steadily. High-frequency dynamic forces may require a load cell specifically rated for dynamic response and higher natural frequency.

The screw-fastened design provides a rigid and secure mechanical mounting interface, which is critical for accurate force transfer and repeatable measurements. It prevents sensor shifting or rocking under load, ensuring that all applied force is transmitted directly to the sensing element. This design is ideal for platform scales where the load cell is mounted between a base and a load plate.
