Bourns is pleased to introduce the new automotive grade, AEC-Q200 compliant, CRG2512 Series Metal Strip Current Sense Chip Resistors.
Current sense chip SMD resistors are growing in popularity due to their high measurement accuracy and relatively low cost compared to other technologies.
These resistors detect and convert current to an easily measured voltage which is proportional to the current through the device. This new surface mount series continues to broaden Bourns’ range of metal strip chip resistors designed for current sensing applications.
The metal resistive element of the CRG2512 Series provides the resistor with low inductance, low noise, excellent reliability and a wide range of resistance values from 110 to 680 milliohms. The CRG Series also features power rating options of 1 or 2 watts, a Temperature Coefficient of Resistance (TCR) as low as ±50 PPM/°C, and an operating temperature range of up to 170 °C. The CRG2512 Series is available in size 2512 (6432 metric).
All these characteristics make the CRG2512 Series ideal for current sensing in consumer and telecommunication electronics and in industrial automation applications in which higher resistor reliability may be required.
Samples and production quantities are now available.
