Stackpole Offers New Series Of Current Sensing Resistors

Stackpole Electronics Inc. introduced its CSS/CSSH series of current sensing resistors, which offers resistance values down to 0.25mΩ in a standard surface-mounted chip package. This series is also rated for full-power operation up to 100°C and has an operating temperature range of up to 275°C, both of which are among the best in the industry.

The CSS / CSSH is available in 1206, 2010, 2512, 2725, and 2728 size packages. TCR’s range from 15 to 50ppm with tolerances as low as 0.5%. This series is capable of 3W in a 2512 size chip, and offers a 4W power rating for the 2725 and 2728 chip sizes. This series is well suited for laptops, portable test equipment, bar code scanners, medical monitoring and diagnostic equipment, communications equipment such as WAN / LAN / and RF networking, energy monitoring, metering equipment, electric power tools, sensors and sensing / detection equipment, dc-dc converters, voltage regulators, motor controls, motion controls and instrumentation.

The CSS/CSSH series is available in standard 7" tape and reel packaging. Pricing varies widely with size, resistance value, and tolerance and ranges from $0.175 each to $0.50 each in full reel quantities.
