Current-sense 0402 chips now available down to 5 milliohms

The popular Stackpole CSRF series of SMD current-sense resistors is now available in resistances down to 5 milliohms in an 0402 chip size. This state of the art low resistance value combined with the small package size allows for efficiency improvement in small portable electronic devices and potential downsizing existing designs. Lower resistance values allows for higher current handling for a given resistor size and lower self-heating at a given current level.
