Dynamic braking resistors keep low profile
Welwyn Components has enhanced its WDBR series with the addition of a new range of ultra-low-profile dynamic braking resistors
TT Electronics Welwyn Components has launched the LRCS series, a family of ultrasmall low-value current-sense surface-mount chip resistors. The new series complements TT Welwyn's existing LR Series, offering the same thick-film-on-ceramic construction but providing increased choice for product designers in the form of three smaller sizes options of 0805, 0603 and 0402.
These smaller sizes save space on the circuit board, allowing the production of smaller and lighter products.
Designed for current sensing in power electronic systems, the fully RoHS compliant LRCS series is suitable for a range of applications including the monitoring of power usage and battery life; and provision of output protection for power supplies; as well as for a range of consumer and automotive products such as satellite navigation, handheld PDAs and digital set-top boxes.
The series offers ohmic values as low as 20mohm to minimise power consumption and has an ambient temperature range of -55 to +155C.

Thick-film resistors aid product miniaturisation
The VRW series has been developed to provide design engineers with a compact high voltage resistor with working voltage ratings of 1.6 and 3.5kV, and high pulse withstand capability of 10kV
Exhibiting a resistance range up to 1R0 and excellent heat dissipation qualities, the series offers designers enhanced power handling capabilities and protection from the threat of localised heating, resulting in the production of a more energy efficient product.
As demand continues to grow for reduced size, handheld and portable devices operating at low voltages, designers will look to manufacturers to produce smaller and smaller current sense resistors.
Welwyn expects that demand for its latest range of small size resistors will be high. Request a free brochure from TT Electronics Welwyn Components....
