Technology High Precision, Current Sensing,
Power Surface Mount, Metal Strip Resistor with Resistance Value
from 2 mΩ, Rated Power up to 3 Watts and TCR to 0 ± 15 ppm/°C
FEATURES
Any value at any tolerance available within resistance range
The CSM Series of low value current sense resistors
provides power and precision in a four terminal, surface
mount configuration. Its all welded construction is made up
of a Bulk Metal® resistive element with plated copper
terminations. Our Application Engineering Department is
available to advise and make recommendations.
