The LRCS series is fully RoHS-compliant and is designed for current sensing in power electronic systems such as the monitoring of power usage and battery life and provision for output protection for power supplies. These resistors can also be employed in various consumer and automotive applications, for example, hand-held PDAs, digital set-top boxes and satellite navigation.
Ultra Small Resistors from TTI Europe
TTI Europe has announced a low-value current sense surface mount chip resistor family, recently launched by TT Electronics Welwyn Components. Complementing the existing LR series, the new devices are available in three smaller sizes – 0805, 0603 and 0402 – whilst retaining the same thick-film on ceramic construction. This saves space on circuit boards, enabling miniaturisation and providing increased choice for product designers.
