Vishay WSLF Power Metal Strip Resistors

Vishay WSLF Power Metal Strip Resistors are high-performance surface-mount current-sense resistors. These resistors provide high reliability, low inductance, low thermal EMF, and superior thermal performance. The WSLF power metal strip resistors operate within a temperature range from -65°C to +170°C and provide power ratings up to 10W. These devices are offered in resistance values ranging from 0.3mΩ to 4mΩ and feature low temperature coefficient, sulfur resistance, and AEC-Q200 compliance. Typical applications include current sensing, pulse applications, and voltage division.
