High-Current Sense Chip Resistors with Kelvin 4-Wire Connection

The CSSK Series from Stackpole Electronics, Inc. offers a 0612-size chip resistor with Kelvin 4-wire connection. The robust all-metal construction withstands pulses and environmental stresses with minimal resistance shift. The low resistance values down to 0.75 milliohms and the terminations on the long side of the part handle high currents with relatively low self-induced heating for high efficiency.

Applications are expected to include: Portable power management, Laptops, netbooks, and tablets, Portable test equipment, Scanners, and Bar code readers. The CSSK0612 is available in resistance values from 0.75 milliohms to 2 milliohms in 1%, 2%, and 5% tolerances.

Pricing varies with tolerance and resistance and ranges from $0.25 to $0.40 each in full package quantities. Contact Stackpole or one of their franchised distributors for volume pricing. The most popular values are currently in stock.
