Vishay WSL Power Metal Strip Resistors

Vishay WSL Power Metal Strip Resistors offer low-resistance surface-mount current-sense resistors designed for high-current systems. These resistors provide good current sensing accuracy, low inductance, and high reliability. The WSL Wide Terminal Series Power Metal Strip Resistors feature a wide-side terminal construction that yields a high power-to-footprint size ratio. These components are designed to operate within a temperature range of -65°C to +170°C and are available with power ratings from 0.1W to 2W. The WSL series is AEC-Q200 qualified and features a low thermal EMF of less than 3μV/°C. Typical applications include current sensing, power amplifiers, power supplies, and voltage division.
