The PE ultra-precision power shunt resistor series from Alpha Electronics offers 4-terminal (Kelvin) connection for current sensing and a power rating of up to 10W on a heat sink or 1.5W in free air (at +70°C) over a resistance range of 0.5Ω to 500Ω. By utilising Alpha’s Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, they are able to offer low temperature coefficients down to ±2.5 ppm/°C between the resistance range 5Ω and 500Ω as well as tight tolerances down to ±0.01% between 25Ω and 500Ω.
The RWB precision wraparound SMD resistor series from Alpha Electronics offers resistances from 10Ω up to 10kΩ, all with a small 0805 chip size. By utilising Alpha's Bulk Metal® foil resistor technology, they are able to offer low tolerances down to ±0.02% (between 1kΩ and 10kΩ) as well as a low TCR of ±2 ppm/°C (between -25°C and +125°C) from 100Ω up to 10kΩ. The Alpha RWB series also offers excellent load-life stability of ±0.005% typical (+70°C, 2000 hours at rated power).
