High powered current sense resistors available in 2-terminal and 4-terminal options

Stocked by Mouser, the Bourns high powered Model CSS Series Current Sense Resistors come in both 2-terminal and 4-terminal options and are manufactured using a metal element. Each family has a range of low resistance options and power ratings of up to 9W with resistance values as low as 0.5mohm. These resistors detect and convert current to an easily measured voltage which is proportional to the current through the device. Bourns Current Sense Resistors offer high measurement accuracy and relatively low costs compared to other technologies. The 2-terminal models are available in three different footprint sizes, 5930, 3920 and 2512 (6332 Metric). The 4-terminal designs allow for high precision 4 kelvin resistance measurements. Their metal alloy current sensing element allows for low thermal EMF and low TCRs of 50 PPM/C in the 20C to 60C temperature range.
