Tolerances to ±1%
3 Watt @70°C power dissipation in a compact 1225 package
Resistance range from 0.003 to 1.000Ω
Ideal for high current sensing applications
Standard Sn/Pb and Pb-free (matte Sn) terminations available
IRC’s LRF3W-MIL series combines high power capabilities, small chip
size, very low resistance and high reliability to handle your current sens-
ing needs. The LRF3W-MIL utilizes high reliability thick film materials and the uninterrupted 2 pad termination
on the long sides maximizes the thermal trasport path, improving reliability. Precise measurements can be
achieved even at very low values using the specified kelvin pad layout (see Physical Data).
