High-current shunts available In 0.2mohm resistance values

Stackpole's HCS high-current SMD shunt resistors are now available in a 0.2 milliohm resistance value in chip sizes of 3920 and 5930. The HCS has an all metal welded construction with a raised resistance element. This provides more efficient thermal conduction, allowing the HCS to handle higher currents with lower self-heating compared to comparable flat chips. The HCS3920 has a 5W power rating and the HCS5930 has a 10W power rating. The HCS is a popular choice for high power lighting controls, power supply and electric motor controls, robotics, electric power tools, and automotive and industrial equipment controls.
