Efficient current induction requires a low resistance value. Values less than 1 milliohm can be hard to find and usually have a high TCR. Stackpole Electronics added 0.2 milliohm of resistance to its CSNL2512-3W series. The device can handle 3W of power while providing TCR from 1 and 2 milliohm ±50ppm to the new 0.2 milliohm value ±175ppm.
AEC compliant CSNL provides consistent performance with expected resistance changes of less than 1% for most industry standard performance tests, including load life, short-term overloads, and bias humidity. This balance of efficiency and stability makes the device ideal for applications such as electric vehicles, power tools, HVAC controls, instrumentation, programmable power supplies, networking and infrastructure equipment, and communications equipment.
