Current sensing Power Metal Strip® resistors allow control circuitry to monitor the level of current in a circuit by translating current into a voltage that can be monitored easily. The devices work by resisting the current flow in a circuit to a calibrated level, thus allowing a voltage drop to be detected and monitored by control circuitry. The low resistance values of Power Metal Strip® resistors allow this function to be carried out with exceptional efficiency. 

High Temperature, High Power, Current Sensing Resistors can be used in a variety of applications and are ideal for: 

• All types of current sensing, voltage division and pulse applications including switching and linear power supplies, instruments and power amplifiers.
• Proprietary processing technique produces extremely low resistance values.
• Specially selected and stabilized materials allow for high temperature derating (to + 275 °C) and high power ratings (2 x standard WSL rating).
• All welded construction.
• Solid metal Nickel-Chrome alloy resistive element with low TCR (< 20 ppm/°C)
• Very low inductance (< 5 nH)
• Excellent frequency response to 50 MHz, Low thermal EMF (< 3 μV/°C)
