My brother always wanted to open the biggest presents first on his birthday, but I always ran to the small boxes: the best things always came in small packages. If I could have, I would have asked my parents for Vishay’s WSLP2726 series Power Metal Strip Resistors and their high power-to-footprint ratio.
These 4-terminal resistors offer power ratings up to 12W and allow for a 1% tolerance on resistance values, ranging from 0.2mΩ to 5mΩ. The WSLP2726 resistors feature a solid metal nickel-chrome or manganese-copper alloy resistive element with a low-temperature coefficient of resistance. With a low inductance and thermal EMF, the power metal strip resistors are AEC-Q200 qualified.
The WSL2726 resistors are ideal for all types of current sensing, voltage division, and pulse applications including switching and linear power supplies, instruments, power amplifiers, and shunts in automotive, computer, industrial, and consumer applications.
