Measuring dynamic current flow has always been an important parameter for managing system performance, and doing so has become even more so with the proliferation of smarter management functions for ...

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...

The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), also referred to as RTC, is a performance characteristic that is heavily influenced by resistor construction for very low resistance values and can be ...

VPG Foil Resistors rolled out a current sense resistor for the medical, energy, military and aerospace markets. The high-precision, surface-mount, four-terminal CSM3637F current sense resistor is an ...

Vishay has created a 5W 1206 current sense resistor range. Called WSLF1206, it is available in values down to 300μΩ. Only the 300μΩ and 500μΩ versions are rated at 5W, and that is only up to 70°C ...

Measuring dynamic currents with an oscilloscope is challenging, but this updated differential current probe makes it simple ...

Rhopoint Components is stocking precision current sensing resistors from VPG Foil Resistors. The 1W surface-mount RBF series measures 6.3 x 3.2mm and offers resistances between 0.01Ω and 1Ω.

Current. Too little of it, and you can’t get where you’re going, too much and your hardware’s on fire. In many projects, it’s desirable to know just how much current is being drawn, and even more ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...
