Chip Resistors Take Aim At Current Sense Apps

Provided in standard SMT packages, the LVC Series of low ohm chip resistors is designed for current sense applications requiring low-profile, low-cost solutions. Offering 1/4W, 1/2W and 1W power ratings, the devices are offered in E24 ohmic values from 0.05 ohms to 1 ohm in standard 5% tolerance. Case sizes have 1206, 2010 and 2512 outlines with nickel barrier terminals to prevent silver migration. TCRs are provided down to ±100 ppm for an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Applications include cell phones, telecomm, computer, wireless, and power supplies.
