Stackpole CSSU Current-Sense Resistors
CSSU series metal-alloy current-sense resistors add 25mΩ and 30mΩ resistance values for low-current sensing applications. Higher resistance values generate stronger sensing voltages to improve measurement resolution and reduce the effects of noise and offset errors. Feature low temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), long-term stability and power ratings up to 5W in a 2512 package. Meet AEC-Q200 requirements. For battery management systems, automotive electronics, motor controls, DC-DC converters and industrial power supplies.

Stackpole HCSK1216 Shunt Resistor
HCSK1216 Kelvin-termination metal-alloy shunt resistor delivers up to 10W at 70°C in a 1216 footprint, using 75% less PCB area than a conventional 2725 component. Four-terminal Kelvin design separates current and voltage-sense paths to reduce lead-resistance measurement errors. Elevated resistive element reduces PCB thermal stress, while all-metal construction provides low inductance and high pulse capability. Operates from -55°C to 170°C and comes in 0.3, 0.5, 1 and 2mΩ resistance values, with tolerances as low as 1% and TCR as low as 50ppm/°C. Meets AEC-Q200, RoHS and REACH requirements. For AI server power systems and high-current sensing applications.
