High power 15W current sense resistors now in distribution
Current sense resistors are growing in popularity due to their high measurement accuracy and relatively low cost compared to other technologies. These resistors detect and convert current to an easily measured voltage which is proportional to the current through the device.
The 2-terminal models are available in three different footprint sizes: 5930, 3920 and 2512 (6332 Metric). With resistance values as low as 0.2mΩ, each family will have a range of low resistance options and power ratings up to 15W. The 4-terminal design allows for high precision 4 kelvin resistance measurements and is available in size 4026.
The range has long term stability, low inductance, low thermal EMF, and custom capability. THe resistors are AEC-Q200 compliant and have been designed for applications such as current sensing, battery management systems, power modules/motor controllers, as well as frequency converters.
