Current sense resistors need less PCB space
IRC Wirewound and Film Technologies has developed a "tight pitch" version of its open air metal element current sense resistor with ratings as high as 3W in a reduced PC board footprint.
Sense resistor handles more current
The OARS-XP Series of current sense resistors has a novel form factor that provides compliant terminations to better handle TCE mismatch between the device and the PC board.
Typically configured as a precision voltage divider or current shunt, the RB/RBR Series resistors are ideal for applications where highly accurate measurement of voltage or current is required.
These resistors are constructed by winding the resistance core in a controlled stress manner, then welding the terminations to reduce contact noise and thermal EMF.
They undergo accelerated aging and additional testing to ensure precise accuracy and stability throughout its lifespan.
Available in axial and radial terminal configurations, power ratings for the RB/RBR Series resistors range from 0.125 to 0.5W.
Standard tolerance ranges from +/-0.01 to +/-1.0%, and operating temperature range is -65 to +145C.
IRC will also provide precision resistors with special TCRs, screening or other specifications to meet customer requirements.
The RB/RBR Series is part of IRC's extensive offering of full MIL-spec and commercial resistors.
The IRC facility includes one of the industry's most comprehensive military-qualified test labs.
Typical pricing for the RB/RBR Series resistors is $17.76 in quantities of 50.
Lead time is from stock to 16 weeks.
