The coompany says the CSS4C-1216 Series is constructed with an Electron Beam Welded (EBW) metal strip that provides excellent long-term stability, minimal inductance (< 2 nH) and superior thermal performance. Delivering a power rating of up to 5 watts and resistance values as low as 0.0003 ohms (Ω), these new shunt resistors help ensure precise, stable operation across an extensive operating temperature range from –65 °C to 170 °C. The series’ 4-terminal design minimises measurement inaccuracies resulting from lead resistance to significantly enhance reliable operation in high current circuits. Additionally, this current sense resistor series features robust construction that ensures consistent thermal stability and durability while also addressing the demanding requirements of precise current monitoring in space-constrained PCB layouts.
