Battery Shunt Resistor offers 36 W power capability.
August 14, 2009 -
Housed in 8518 size package, Power Metal Strip® WSBS8518 produces resistance values of 100, 125, and 250 µW with tolerance of 5.0%. All-welded construction allows operation with continuous currents as high as 600 A. With inductance values less than 5 nH and thermal EMF less than 3 µV/°C, resistor is suited for battery shunt applications in gas, diesel, hybrid, and electric cars, trucks, and scooters, as well as electric forklifts and other industrial applications.

Vishay Releases New Power Metal Strip® Battery Shunt Resistor With 36-W Power Capability and Resistance Values Down to 100 µÙ in 8518 Size Package
MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA - July 17, 2009 - Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today announced a new Power Metal Strip® battery shunt resistor that combines a 36-W power capability in the 8518 size package with extremely low resistance values down to 100 µW.
The WSBS8518 battery shunt resistor features a proprietary processing technique that produces extremely low resistance values of 100 µW, 125 µW, and 250 µW. This provides increased accuracy in battery shunt applications for gas, diesel, hybrid, and electric cars, trucks, and scooters, as well as electric forklifts and other heavy industrial applications.
With a tolerance of 5.0 %, the new resistor provides more accurate data to determine battery charge and discharge, thus helping designers meet specific customer battery management requirements.
The WSBS8518 features an all-welded construction that allows operation with continuous currents as high as 600A. The resistor offers low inductance values of < 5 nH and a low thermal EMF of < 3 µV/°C. The device is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
Samples and production quantities of the new battery shunt resistor are available now, with a lead time of six to eight weeks for larger orders.
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc., a Fortune 1,000 Company listed on the NYSE (VSH), is one of the world's largest manufacturers of discrete semiconductors (diodes, rectifiers, MOSFETs, optoelectronics, and selected ICs) and passive electronic components (resistors, capacitors, inductors, sensors, and transducers).
