SMT 0.003-ohm resistor handles 2 W

The WSL1020 surface-mount power resistor features a wide side-terminal construction, 3 to 6-mΩ values, and a high 2-W power rating in a compact 1020 case size. The resistor comes in 0.5%, 1%, and 5% tolerances with an operating temperature range of -65° to 170°C.

The device has a solid metal nickel-chrome alloy resistive element, all-welded construction, and a TCR of ±175 ppm/°C. The WSL1020 has a low inductance of 0.5 ηH to 5 ηH, a low thermal EMF (
