Stackpole -New 1206 high current shunt chip resistor rated at 2W

Stackpole has expanded its popular HCS series high-current shunt chip resistors to now include a 1206 size part rated at 2W. The HCS Series combines an elevated resistive element to lower the induced heat on the PCB with low resistance values down to 0.3 milliohms to achieve this outstanding performance. The HCS1206 has low TCR ranging from 150ppm to 300ppm for high accuracy even at high temperatures. The HCS is designed to handle and operate at high temperatures. It is rated for full power up to 100C and can operate safely at reduced power up to 170C. The HCS Series is ideal for all types of high-power supplies and power modules, electric motor controls, fuel powered engine controls, DC to DC converters in switching power supplies, frequency converters, voltage regulators, portable power management and battery monitoring, says the company.
