NORTHVALE, New Jersey, USA – New Yorker Electronics has expanded its line of CSM Series of current sense resistors VPG Foil Resistors’ new +A grade, fully standardized Power Shunts. Relying on proprietary techniques to create low resistance values and improved TCR, the VPG CSM2817, CSM3920A, CSM5930A and CSM2512A Power Shunts have a resistance range of 0.1 mΩ to 100 mΩ and a TCR of ±15 ppm/°C to ±200 ppm/°C. They have a tolerance of ±0.1% to 5% and are power rated to 15W (at 70°C).
These VPG Metal Strip Power Resistors are used for medical and automatic test equipment, communication systems, power amplifiers, high-current applications for the automotive market and others. Each has a working temperature rated between -65°C to 170°C.
The VPG CSM2817 series is 0.250in x 0.169in x 0.039in. It features a temperature coefficient of resistance to ±50 ppm/°C max. (+20°C to +120°C), a power rating to 5W, a maximum current to 70A and a resistance range of 1mΩ to 100mΩ. It has a short time overload of ±0.3%. Its E-Beam welding construction consists of copper terminals and NiCr resistive element.
The VPG CSM3920A series is 0.394in x 0.201in with various height options. It boasts a power rating of up to 12W with, a maximum current to 244A a resistance range of 0.2mΩ to 4mΩ. It also has a short time overload of ±0.5% and low Inductance
