Foil Technology High Precision
4-Terminal Power Current Sensing Resistors with
TCR as low as ± 1 ppm/°C and Tolerance ± 0.1 %
FEATURES
•
Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR):
Any value at any tolerance available within resistance range
The 300 Series offers precision Bulk Metal
®
Foil technology
resistors as low as 5 mΩ with a temperature coefficient
down to 1 ppm/°C and unmatched long term stability. The
4 terminal current sensing resistors, when mounted on a
heat sink, can sustain 10 watts continuously without an
appreciable change in resistance (0.15 % maximum). The
typical 50 % power derating specification associated with
other technologies is not necessary. A choice of lead
configurations is available.
Our Application Engineering Department is available to
advise and make recommendations. For non-standard
technical requirements and special applications, please
