Current sense resistor minimizes heat flow

The HCS series resistor is designed for current sensing applications and features a raised metal element that minimizes the heat forced into the PCB and surrounding components. It is available in 3 W 2512 and 5 W 3920 sizes, in values of 0.3, 0.5, and 1 mΩ.

The resistors TCR ranges from 50 to 150 ppm, depending on value, with tolerances of 1% or 5%. Pricing varies from $0.35 to $0.70 each in full reel quantities.
