Metal-Strip Current-Sense Chip Resistors - CRG2512 Series

Bourns' automotive-grade, AEC-Q200-compliant, CRG2512 series metal-strip current-sense chip resistors are designed for different applications in power supply circuits. Current-sense resistors are growing in popularity due to their high measurement accuracy and relatively low cost compared to other technologies. These resistors detect and convert current to an easily measured voltage which is proportional to the current through the device. This surface-mount series continues to broaden Bourns’ range of metal-strip chip resistors that are designed for current-sensing applications. The metal-resistive element of the CRG2512 series provides the resistor with low inductance, low noise, excellent reliability, and a wide range of resistance values from 110 mΩ to 680 mΩ. The CRG series also features power rating options of 1 W or 2 W, a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) as low as ±50 PPM/°C, and an operating temperature range of up to +170°C. The CRG2512 series is available in a 2512 (6432 metric) size. These characteristics make this series ideal for current sensing in consumer and telecommunication electronics and in industrial automation applications in which higher resistor reliability may be required.
