INTRODUCTION
The CSM3637S is a low value current sense resistor,
providing 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.
There are many current sense resistors on the market, until
now the combination of very stable and precise resistors
with low TCR as much as 0 ppm/°C ± 20 ppm/°C, tight
tolerance of ± 0.2 % and excellent load life stability of
± 0.05 % (2000 h, + 70 °C at rated power) were not easily
available.
The key performance of the new CSM3637S is stability,
which is the ability of this resistor to maintain its value with
time under nominal load at various environmental
conditions.
These specifications are based on tests performed in
accordance with methods prescribed by appropriate
MIL-PRF standards.
The four terminal device separates the current leads from
the voltage drop sensing leads. This configuration
eliminates the effect of the lead wire resistance from points
A to B and C to D.
A key feature of the CSM3637S is its low thermal EMF
design. The welded terminals make intimate contact with
the chip thereby minimizing temperature variations.
