The chip resistor handles high power with precision. Useful for EVs, power systems, and industry, offering thermal stability and long-term reliability.
Stackpole Electronics Inc. has released the CSSU2512, a compact current sense chip resistor built for high-power applications in a 2512-size package. With a low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of ±50 ppm and an all-metal design, the CSSU2512 offers improved thermal performance, long-term stability, and reliability.
The current sense resistor is designed for engineers and developers working on high-power, high-density electronic systems. It is particularly well-suited for power electronics engineers building efficient power supplies, battery management systems, and DC-DC converters. Automotive engineers developing electric vehicles and onboard charging systems can benefit from its precision and durability. The resistor also meets the needs of industrial equipment manufacturers creating motor drives and automation controls, as well as medical device designers requiring stable and reliable components. Additionally, it supports the demands of telecom hardware developers and aerospace contractors who need compact, high-performance components that can withstand mechanical and thermal stress.
The resistor is well-suited for power management and control systems where high power density is required without sacrificing precision. Its metal body construction also helps minimize mechanical stress from board flex or temperature shifts, protecting both the component and its solder joints.
Some of the few key features of the current sense resistor are:
- Low resistance and low TCR
- Excellent long term stability
- RoHS compliant, REACH compliant, lead free, and halogen free
- AEC-Q200 compliant
Pricing for the CSSU2512 depends on the resistance value and order volume, with full package quantities ranging from $0.22 to $0.30 per unit.
