TCS Surface Mount Resistors Make Sense of Current
Preview
The trend towards smaller handheld and portable electronics equipment has also increased the need for ultra
small current sensing resistors. Devices from the Token Electronics’ TCS series use a thin film construction that
enables them to achieve precision resistance tolerances, low noise and long-term stability.
The Token TCS Series precision resistors are nichrome thin film chip resistors with a temperature coefficient of
resistance of just ±50PPM/°C and tolerances of ±0.5%.
They offer excellent stability at high frequencies and are suitable for operating high voltages with more options
in the smaller form sizes of 0402, 0603, 0402, 0805, 1206, 2010, and 2512.
The full range of values is from 50mΩ to 1Ω. This low ohmic devices are particularly suited to car engine
management units to act as current sensing shunt resistors.
The TCS series is fully RoHS compliant and is supplied in tape and reel packaging ready for use with automated
assembly processes.
