Bare Element Resistors for Measurement and Control Systems

MSR Bare Element Resistors, from UK-based ARCOL Resistors, have been developed for current sensing and shunt applications in intelligent power systems and instrumentation. The MSR series feature a special alloy element, copper-clad steel leads and welded construction. Built in stand-offs and standard lead spacings make for simple PCB mounting.

ARCOL MSR Bare Element Resistors offer values from 0.0005Ω to 1Ω, are low inductance (less than 10nH), have a flameproof construction, a TCR of 20ppm/°C and are RoHS Compliant. MSR resistors will operate up to 275°C and have power ratings up to 5W at 85°C.

Tony Daly, Sales Manager of ARCOL Resistors, comments; “OEMs increasing need to automate manufacturing and our high power RWS range offer previously unavailable SMD assembly of high power resistors offering time and manufacturing cost savings.”
