The 0.25-W rated CSRF0402 – HP, for example, is available in resistance values from 20 mΩ down to 2.5 mΩ. TCR ranges from ±400 ppm to ±200 ppm are possible depending on resistance value with tolerances as low as 1%. This […]
Ultra-precision current-sense chips feature resistance range to 80 mΩ
The CSSH2512 from Stackpole is an all metal current sense chip resistor capable of precision tolerances as low as 0.5% and TCR as low as 15 ppm. The resistance range for the 3-W 2512 size chip has been expanded and now spans from 0.5 mΩ up to 80 mΩ. The high precision combined with the […]
Keys to understanding resistor specs
The specification process for resistors involves more than just allowing for tolerance bands. Voltage, power, and temperature ratings can interact in ways that can degrade circuit reliability. Kory Schroeder, Stackpole Electronics, Inc. Although not a complex component, resistors have specifications that can be confusing, misleading, and misinterpreted. When specifying performance qualities, it is important to […]
Current-sense resistors designed for use in high-sulfur environments come in 0402 packages
KOA Speer Electronics has expanded its SR73-RT Series of Low Resistance Anti-Sulfuration Current Sense Resistors with a new 0402 Package size. The SR731E-RT will be available in ±1%, ±2%, and ±5% tolerances with resistance values from 1Ω up to 10 Ω, a power rating of 1/8 Watt and an operating temperature of -55°C to +155°C. […]
UL94V-0-compliant wirewounds offer wide range of power ratings and tolerances
The WW Series high temperature silicone coated wirewound resistors meet UL94V-0 flammability requirements. The all-welded WW is available in power ratings from 0.5 W up to 11 W and tolerances from 5% to 0.1%. Typical TCR for the WW series ranges from 90 ppm or better for resistance values below 1 Ω to 20 ppm […]
Anti-surge chip resistors now come in 0402 size
The RPC Series from Stackpole is an anti-surge chip resistor with superior pulse handling performance compared to standard thick film chips. Stackpole has recently added an 0402 chip size rated at 0.2 W and featuring values from 1 Ω to 1 MΩ in tolerances as low as ±0.5% and TCR as low as ±100 ppm. […]
Current sense chips comes in 0603 and 0805 sizes
Ultra precision current-sensing chip resistors, the CSS Series, offer precision tolerances as tight as 0.5% and TCR as low as 15 ppm. Recently, Stackpole extended the value range for the 0603 size adding a 4 mΩ value and the 0805 size adding a 3 mΩ value. Lower resistance values allow the CSS to sense higher […]
Wide-terminal, low-Ohm high-power thick-film chip resistors deliver top-notch TCR qualities
ROHM announced the availability of a new lineup of high power wide terminal thick-film chip resistors (10-910mΩ), LTR50 series, ideal for current detection in a variety of applications, including inverters, AC, and energy-efficient appliances. A thorough review of the resistive material allowed ROHM to improve rated power to 2W in the compact 2550 size (2.5×5.0mm, […]
