FCSL Series
Metal Foil Current Sense
Ohmite continues to add to its complement
of Current Sense offerings with the FCSL
Series. FCSL incorporates proven metal foil
technology to produce the ultimate in a cur-
rent sense resistor. FCSL features the effec-
tive combination of very low and stable TCRs
(Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) avail-
able in a wide selection of very low ohmic
values. Power ratings up to 10 Watts makes
FCSL the ideal choice for your current sens-
ing applications.
