Isabellenhütte Heusler has embarked on a strategy to sell its products through the distribution channel. It has signed Power & Signal Group to take its low ohmic resistor products to automotive customers in Europe and Asia. The precision and high-performance meet the requirements of the AEC-Q200 specifications, thanks to their small size and high performance, and are used in numerous applications in the automotive industry.

Isabellenhute's latest precision performance foil resistors, launched at the PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg, use the company's Isa-Plan process whereby three layers of manganin foil, copper substrate and an adhesive with good thermal conductivity (ceramic filled) are pressure bonded. This temperature resistant bonded combination of substrate and resistance foil ensures optimal dissipation of heat.

Expanding the company's VMx precision resistor family with gold-plated contacts, Isabellenhütte has introduced the VMx-A series. These gold-plated low-ohmic resistors are suitable for mounting with conductive adhesive on high-temperature circuit boards, as well as for component mounting by means of reflow and IR soldering.

Well suited to applications in the automotive sector in which there are high requirements in terms of temperature and load, Isabellenhütte has introduced the PMH-D and PLU precision performance foil resistors. They can also be used in industrial applications such as frequency converters and power modules with DCB ceramic substrates.

Based on a copper-manganese alloy, Noventin is the latest high-precision resistance alloy from Isabellenhütte. Featuring a resistivity of 90µΩcm, this allow provides a resistivity that is exactly between the Isaohm (133µΩcm) and Manganin (43µΩcm) alloys. This offers users an even more targeted selection of high-precision resistance alloys.

Satisying key battery management criteria for future-proof vehicle design, Isabellenhütte have announced the ICB-M current sensor. The company boasts that the sensor will deliver high-precision, redundant current measurement for consistently efficient energy control.

Isabellenhütte has added the new BVN four-terminal resistor to its measuring resistor range. It is exceptional due to its small size of between 3.3 and 4 millimetres plus its extremely low temperature coefficient of less than 50 ppm/K. “It is difficult to produce low-ohmic resistors with values of less than 1 mOhm that also have good temperature coefficients. The BVN has achieved it – together with a size that is 25 per cent smal...

Isabellenhütte's new “IB4” battery management system is designed for four-cell lithium ion batteries with individual cell voltages of up to 5V, and was developed in cooperation with the company’s Braunschweig-based development partner I+ME Actia.

At this year’s electronica trade fair, Isabellenhütte presented its IPC Modular current measurement module for shunt-based phase current. Thanks to its compact dimensions (L/W/H: 46 mm/40.5 mm/21 mm), its high 16-bit resolution, and high-speed current measuring capacity of up to 20 Mbit/s (without filter), the module is designed to be used as control units for all manner of heavy-duty electrical drives. The IPC Modular is suitable for ...

Isabellenhütte has developed a measurement appliance including a galvanic isolated power supply as a modular system for detecting current and voltage: this system is designed for use in phase current measurement in medium- and high-voltage applications. The measurement appliance’s modular structure takes the form of separate units which can be combined with each other as necessary.

Charge and discharge cycles have an impact on the longevity of lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles and the ultracapacitors used for energy storage in photovoltaic systems. For this reason, it is necessary for battery safety and longevity to be able to establish the state of charge (SoC) and the state of function (SoF). Isabellenhütte has a solution to this challenge in the form of the tried-and-trusted IVT sensor module for measu...

Current sensor controls high-speed electric motor. Nine top teams are using the IVT-F current sensor made by Isabellenhütte Heusler GmbH, during the 2012 Formula 1 season, which will start on March 18th in Melbourne, Australia. The module has been integrated in the so-called E-KER systems: E-KERS is an Electric Kinetic Energy Recovery System that was used for the first time in 2009 and which was integrated in Formula 1 cars again for the 201...

Isabellenhütte Heusler convinces automotive suppliers LED technology is becoming an increasingly popular choice for lighting up the headlights of modern cars as well as their displays and cockpits. Special resistors are necessary to make the diodes work properly.

Isabellenhütte Heusler GmbH & Co. KG, Hesse, Germany, has made inroads into the high-current range of industrial applications with shunt current measurement. The measurement of currents of up to 30,000 amperes using low-ohmic shunts can truly be seen as unique. Moreover, the company’s next target is 100,000 amperes.

Isabellenhütte is launching the VLx resistor series, resistors with unmatched performance. Reversing the length to width ratio resulted in expanding the resistance range to extremely low values (i. e. 1mOhm in size 0612) and enabled other remarkable improvements. The larger soldering and contact pads are increasing the mechanical stability of the solder joints during temperature and power cycling and guaranty at the same time a much better heat ...

Isabellenhütte is one of the pioneers in current and voltage measurement of 12 V vehicle batteries. In 2002, the company introduced the ISA-ASIC, the world’s first all-in-one measuring system for current, voltage and temperature for electronic battery management. Together with the Austrian company austriamicrosystems, which is an international leader in the field of design and production of high-performance analogue ICs, the company has produc...

At the Sensor+Test fair in Nuremberg, Isabellenhütte unveiled its precision current sensor with analogue voltage output. The new sensor, the IAS, does not require a digital interface or digital converter, reducing size and costs – an important benefit for users in many different fields (e.g. automotive applications, energy management systems and general current sensing applications). The choice of used shunts ranges from 0.1 to 1 mOhm, meaning...
