Description

Overview

The 3920 SMD Open-Type Current Sense Resistor is designed for accurate current measurement in high-current power circuits.
As an SMD current sense resistor, it measures current by detecting the voltage drop across a precisely controlled low resistance, enabling reliable monitoring and control.

The open-type structure improves heat dissipation through natural convection, reducing thermal stress during continuous operation. This SMD current sense resistor delivers stable electrical performance and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments.
