Shunt resistor provides 0.2 milliohm resistance value in 3920 and 5930 chip sizes

The HCS Series shunt resistor from Stackpole now includes an 0.2 milliohm resistance value in the 3920 and 5930 chip sizes. This extremely low resistance value allows higher power current sensing with greater efficiency. In addition, the all-metal raised element means lower PCB temperatures due to increased convection under the part. The HCS typically runs 15C to 30C cooler than comparable sized flat chips. The low-resistance SMD shunts also provide high accuracy with tolerances down to 1% and TCR as low as 50 ppm for select resistance values. The HCS Series is AEC-Q200 qualified and is ideal for power supplies for a wide range of end products including HVAC, robotics, data and voice telecom, fuel power engine controls, electric motors, portable charging stations, and electric scooters, says the company.
