Abstract :
This paper reports a novel flexible current clamp sensor with 480 turns silver paste coil (line/space = 50 μm/50 μm) formed by through-holes and screen-printing technologies. Using screen-printing techniques, fine stripe patterns could be formed on 50 mm long and 10 mm wide polyimide film in a few seconds. Coil resistance between contact pads is about 2.3 kΩ. The sensor is developed using only coating, through-holes laser drilling and screen-printing technologies. Therefore it can be fabricated by reel-to-reel continuous film processing systems.
