I give up because I found the chip mounted on the PCB with some other components and I ordered them. Check the post just before Jerry post.


Good result.

Yeah the board is less than $7 each and it cost $18 to ship it from Canada so I ordered 3 of them. I hate it when the cost of the item is less than the shipping cost. I bought 10 of the chips alone and it costs me $13 with $10 shipping from within Texas. The chip is only $1.30 each.

I hate it when they add the same shipping charge for multiple items. It's the original package and postage that costs a lot. Adding one more tiny item doesn't increase the cost at the post office.

Id doubt it was ever meant to have wires attached...

This is not a good idea because there may not be a good ELECTRICAL Connection.

Get glue under any wire—>pad contact, and NO CONTACT.

Epoxy is an INSULATOR !


Another good point. Thanks for the info.

Well I gave up on trying to attach wires to that sensor. I found an outfit in Canada selling the same sensor mounted on a small circuit board with some components to convert to current output to voltage output.
The circuilt board works very well.
Here is a picture of the ciruit board and the sensor alone. The circuit board has a small connector to plug the cable in.
