High efficiency current sensing requires low resistance values to minimise wasted power. As applications downsize, engineers are challenged to find lower resistance values in small case sizes. Stackpole has announced that it now offers the CSSH0805. This all-metal 0805 case size is capable of dissipating up to one watt of power at resistance values 0.5mΩ.

Power electronics that utilise current sensing resistors for power control have a wide range of typical requirements. For those applications that require high power handling with low self-heating and high surge currents, the HCS high current SMD shunts from Stackpole are a good choice.

Today's high current power supplies demand high efficiency and accuracy. This can be difficult because typically low resistance values cannot offer low TCR. Stackpole’s CSS2725 is a surface mount four watt all-metal current sense resistor that is now available in resistance values down to 0.2mΩ in 100 ppm TCR.

As modern electronics evolve, engineers are challenged to expand functionality in smaller packages. To facilitate this these demands, resistors and other components need to be available in small case sizes without sacrificing performance.Chip resistors with smaller sizes and higher performance are critical to the evolution of portable test and measurement equipment, portable medical electronics, diagnostic devices, and high end portable audio ele...

Electronic devices that require downsizing or increased functionality may utilise high power surface mount resistors to accomplish this. High power surface mount chip resistors utilise materials designed for the higher temperatures associated with higher power levels.Stackpole's RMCP series is a thick film technology providing higher power capability for a given chip size.

As the varieties of electronics applications have increased, their voltage requirements have changed in multiple ways. Both higher and lower voltage applications have become common. High voltage resistors to handle the high voltage application requirements can be problematic due to the limited types and capability of most resistors currently available.Stackpole's HVAM series offers working voltage ratings from up to 15KV for the HVAM20 to up to 5...

Electronic content has rapidly increased in a wide variety of markets. For applications that reside in humid or unpredictable environmental locations, resistors with robust performance in humidity and under environmental stress is key. Typical anti-moisture resistors are expensive and have limited availability.

Power supplies and power controls have a wide range of sensing requirements. For applications that require high sensing precision, the element TCR is more important than low resistance values.

As electronics evolve, the power and pulse requirements have changed higher efficiency electronics and motors mean lower power, voltage, and current requirements. As a result, designs which have traditionally required a carbon composition or wirewound resistor may now be able to use a lower cost metal oxide resistor.

Power supplies and current sensing circuits have requirements that are as wide ranging as the end products they serve. For applications that require low TCR sense chip resistors, yet don’t need extremely low resistance values for high current handling, this can be difficult.
