A new high precision thin film wraparound chip resistor for industrial, medical, military, and aerospace applications has been introduced by Vishay Intertechnology.

Bourns has announced the availability of smaller package sizes and feature options in itsModel CFN Metal Foil Current Sense Resistor Series. New miniature 0402 and 0603 packages were introduced to the Model CFN series as well as a lower TCR option of ±50 ppm/°C in the 0603 and larger package sizes.

The ten-year countdown is on for the UK’s 2030 petrol and diesel vehicles ban. Changing the fuel source of the nation’s vehicle fleet is sure to present some hurdles, so what can be done to make widespread Electric Vehicle (EV) rollout a reality? Here Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofCressall, investigates.

SnapEDA’s component resources now include computer-aided design (CAD) models for over 75,000 Panasonic components.

Applications that experience pulse events require special consideration for selecting resistors. General purpose thick film chip resistors have variable pulse handling depending on calibration trim length. As a result, their pulse performance can be unreliable.

ROHM has announced the GMR320 series of shunt resistors featuring a rated power of 10W. GMR320 series is the largest rated power product in ROHM high-power low-ohmic GMR series lineup designed for high power applications in the automotive, industrial equipment, and home appliances.

While the most destructive forms of transient surges are typically lightning and utility load switching, these two events are thought to account for just 20% of all transient surge activity. The remaining 80% occur in the supposed safety of the factory walls. So how can plant managers protect their equipment from its own production line? Here Simone Bruckner, Managing Director ofCressall, investigates.

As electronic devices continue to evolve, finding resistors that have higher power ratings in a given package size are more and more important. However, higher power resistors can often generate significantly more heat than resistors with standard power ratings.

As useful and versatile as instrumentation amplifiers (IAs) are when it comes to interfacing to a transducer, there are constraints that hamper the design of variable gain IAs or programmable gain instrumentation amplifiers (PGIAs), also referred to as software programmable gain amplifiers (SPGAs) in some literature.

Current sensing for high efficiency can be done easily and economically using current sense resistors. As resistance values are reduced, the measurement error due to lead resistance becomes more of a problem. For applications desiring high efficiency with the best possible temperature accuracy, four terminal current sensing products are a good choice.
