Metal strip current sensing surface mount resistors offer advantages in space-saving on PCB

Metal strip current sensing surface mount resistors from KOA are available now from RS Components. These devices are utilised in large volumes and are the preferred choice in electronics equipment with their small size and high reliability. The devices are often employed in telecommunication, automotive (AEC Q200 qualified) and medical equipment, and are also found in personal devices, displays and advanced technology research instruments.

The KOA 5mOhm 2010 (5025M) Metal strip current sensing surface mount resistor offers ultra-low TCR of (+50ppm/C). The metal alloy provides superior corrosion and heat resistance.

Applications include current sensing, voltage division and pulse applications and is suitable for reflow soldering.
