Current Sensing Resistors Offer Superior Corrosion and Heat Resistance


Bradford, PA - October 4, 2002 - KOA Speer Electronics introduces its new line of current sensing surface mount resistors constructed of metal alloy. These components offer resistance to heat and corrosion with superior mechanical strength as compared to other current sensing resistors. The TLR series chip-type metal plate resistors are ideal for use in a number of applications that demand a more durable, pulse-resistant component including current sensing and voltage dividers. TLR series resistors are also untrimmed, providing low inductance and high frequency capabilities. Ultra low resistances (1 milli-ohm to 4 Mega-ohm) are available.

KOA Speer TLR series resistors offer standard tolerances of ±1% and ±5% and a power rating of 1.0W up to 70°C, with derated power at higher temperatures dependent upon the chosen resistance value. The maximum T.C.R for this series is ±150 or ±200ppm/°C. TLR series resistors will withstand operating temperatures of -65°C - +170°C and are suitable for flow or reflow soldering. Embossed plastic packaging is available.
