Precision Open-Air Low Ohmic Resistors for High Accuracy Current Sensing

Description

The Precision Open-Air Low Ohmic Resistor offers reliable and accurate current sensing with resistance values ranging from 0.5mΩ to 100mΩ. Built for open-frame designs, it ensures excellent thermal management and high surge capability. This resistor is perfect for applications such as electric vehicle BMS, inverters, motor control, industrial automation, and HVAC systems. Available in a variety of power ratings and resistance tolerances, our open-air resistors can also be customized to meet your exact specifications.

The bare metal element design allows for maximum cooling via airflow, forcing less heat into the PCB. The flameproof construction offers values down to 2mΩ with low inductance. Customer can specify resistance range designed to satisfy challenging and specific technical requirements.

Key Features:

  • Resistance range: 0.5mΩ – 100mΩ

  • Power rating: Up to 20W

  • Tolerance: ±1%, ±5%

  • High thermal dissipation open-frame structure

  • RoHS & REACH compliant

  • Customization available
