With a tolerance of 5.0 %, the new resistor provides more accurate data to determine battery charge and discharge, thus helping designers meet specific customer battery management requirements.
The WSBS8518 features an all-welded construction that allows operation with continuous currents as high as 600A. The resistor offers low inductance values of < 5 nH and a low thermal EMF of < 3 µV/°C. The device is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
