New low-cost radial-leaded through-hole current-sense resistors with ratings up to 5W

18-12-2015 | Stackpole | Passives

Stackpole's new BR series offers radial-leaded through-hole current-sense resistors offering power ratings up to 5W. The BR series elevates the resistive element off of the board for maximum cooling into the ambient air and minimizing the amount of heat that must be dealt with at the board level. The BR is available in 1W, 3W, and 5W power ratings, in values from 5 milliohms to 100 milliohms and in tolerances as low as 1%. These performance characteristics make the BR series ideal for power management in power supplies, small motors, industrial controls as well as audio applications, robotics, and portable power tools.
