Power metal strip resistors target current-sensing and pulse applications

Suitable for a wide range of current-sensing and pulse applications, Vishay high-power low-value surface-mount power metal strip resistors are now stocked by Farnell element14. Power metal strip resistors offer very high power-to-footprint size ratio, high frequency response and low inductance in a solid metal nickel-chrome or manganese-copper allow resistive element with low TCR. Ideal for a wide range of high-power current sensing applications including automotive, power amplifiers and shunts, switching and linear power supplies and test and measurement instruments, power metal strip resistors come with a range of advantages including high current capability, a wide temperature range and a varied choice of case styles and sizes.
