Resistance range expanded on ceramic sense resistors

Current sensing for a wide range of products and applications requires low and high resistance values with high stability, reliability, and low TCR. Finding cost-effective solutions can be difficult for devices requiring somewhat higher resistance values, high current handling, low TCR, and high stability. Film-type resistors do not have high current handling, and all metal resistors struggle to offer higher resistance values.

Stackpole Electronics recently extended the CSRF2817 foil on ceramic sense resistors to add resistance values up to 0.1milliohm.

The series provides superior current handling to film-type resistors and has exceptional TCR of 50ppm across the resistance value range.
