NIC Components Europe has introduced four new ranges of current sensing surface mount resistors. The NCSR, NCST, NCSP and NCSW series address the rapidly growing need for current sensing in power management and control applications in low-voltage high-current circuits. The trend towards smaller handheld and portable electronics equipment has also increased the need for ultrasmall current sensing resistors.
The NCSR and NCST series are precision thick film devices that are available in case sizes from 2512 down to 0402 (NCST series).
The NCSP series meanwhile uses a stable precision conductor construction within a surface mountable moulded flatpack.
The NCSP series is available in case sizes from 5724 down to 2512.
Devices from the NCSW series use a thin film construction that enables them to achieve precision resistance tolerances, low noise and long-term stability.
The reverse termination format of the NCSW series gives increased heat dissipation to 3W.
Case sizes available are either 0815 or 0830.
Resistance and temperature ranges of parts from the four series are as follows: NCST series - 0.01 to 1.0ohm, -55 to +155C; NCSR series - 0.0005 to 0.01ohm, -55 to +170C; NCSP series - 0.003 to 1.8ohm, -55 to +180C; and NCSW series - 0.001 to 1.0ohm, -55 to +125C.
All devices from the new ranges of current sensing resistors comply with EU lead-free directives that come into force from July 2006 and are fully compatible with Pb-free reflow processes.
Samples and sample kits are available from NIC.
