INTRODUCTION
The VCS301 and VCS302 offer precision resistors as low as
5 mΩ with a temperature coefficient down to 3 ppm/°C
maximum and unmatched long term stability. The 4 terminal
current sensing resistors, when mounted on a heat sink, can
sustain 10 W continuously without an appreciable change in
resistance (0.15 % maximum). The typical 50 % power
derating specification associated with other technologies is
not necessary. A choice of lead configurations is available.
Our application engineering department is available to
advise and make recommendations. For non-standard
technical requirements and special applications, please
contact us.
