FEATURES
•Ideal for all types of current sensing, voltage
division and pulse applications including
switching and linear power supplies,
instruments, power amplifiers
•Proprietary processing technique produces
extremely low resistance values (down to
0.001 Ω)
•All welded construction
•Solid metal Nickel-Chrome or Manganese-Copper alloy
resistive element with low TCR (< 20 ppm/°C)
•Solderable terminations
•Very low inductance 0.5 nH to 5 nH
•Excellent frequency response to 50 MHz
•Low thermal EMF (< 3 µV/°C)
•Lead (Pb)-free version is RoHS compliant
Notes
(1) For values above 0.1 Ω derate linearly to 80 % rated power at 0.5 Ω
• Part Marking: Value, Tolerance: due to resistor size limitations some resistors will be marked with only the resistance value
* Pb containing terminations are not RoHS compliant, exemptions may apply
