Achieving high power density in compact electronic designs presents significant engineering challenges. Stackpole says its CSSU2512 current sense resistor addresses these demands with an impressive 5-watt power rating in a standard 2512 footprint. Its robust all-metal construction and advanced thermally conductive design substantially lower thermal resistance, effectively reducing thermal stress on adjacent components and the PCB.

The CSSU2512, operating at 5 W, achieves thermal performance on par with other 2512-size current sense chips rated at just 3 W, providing outstanding stability and reliability for applications requiring high power density.

Available in resistance values from 1 to 10 mΩ, with 1% tolerance and a 50 ppm temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), the AEC-compliant CSSU2512 offers exceptional durability and consistent performance in demanding environments.
