What are “Current Sensing Resistor” and “Shunt Resistor”?

What are “Current Sensing Resistor” and “Shunt Resistor”?

These are popular names of resistors that are used for current (voltage) control, overcurrent limitation, and residual quantity detection of battery. MPR series, NMS series and MVR Series of Microhm Electronics are utilzed as current sensing resistor and Shunt Resistor MMS series are wellkown in many fields, especially for automotives. Current sensing resistor is connected in series to the circuit and it converts current-voltage in accordance with Ohms law. On the other hand, Shunt originally means divert aside and divide flo...

Resistor Sizes and Packages

Resistor Sizes and Packages

Resistors are available in a large amount of different packages. Nowadays the most used are the rectangular surface mount resistors. This page will inform you about the dimensions of SMD and the required land patterns for SMD components. The shape and size of surface mount resistors are standardized, most manufacturers use the JEDEC standards. The size of SMD resistors is indicated by a numerical code, such as 0603. This code contains the width and height of the package. So in the example of 0603 Imperial code, this indicate...

What are Metal Oxide Film Resistors?

What are Metal Oxide Film Resistors?

Metal-oxide film resistors are fixed form, axial resistors. They are made of ceramic rod that is coated with a thin film of metal oxides, such as tin oxide. Metal oxide film resistors must not be confused with metal oxide varistors, made of zinc oxide or silicon carbide. Microhm Electronics NCA series is typical metal oxide resistor. Metal oxide film resistors exceed the performance of metal film and carbon film for the following properties: power rating, voltage rating, overload capabilities, surges and high temperatures. De...

Ultra-Low Noise Resistors in Amplifier Applications

Ultra-Low Noise Resistors in Amplifier Applications

Ultra-low current noise resistors provide better resolution and accuracy of the amplified outputs, enabling higher performance of the end products, which is apporiate for high-gain amplifiersincluding high-quality microphones, piezoelectric sensors and X-ray security scanners, such as Microhm NTP seriese and NLR100. In audio recording applications, high-gain amplifiers boost the volume of the input that can be detected by a microphone before causing feedback, resulting in higher sound quality. For manufacturers of piezoelectr...

Ammeter and Ammeter shunts

Ammeter and Ammeter shunts

An ammeter is a device designed to accurately measure and display electrical current in a readable form, which could be a moving coil meter, a LED bargraph display or a digital panel meter. The basic unit of electrical current is Amperes, usually shortened to Amps. Milliamps, is a more convenient measurement for lower power circuits When designing an ammeter, external resistors, usually referred to as shunt resistors (or sometimes current resistors), are connected in parallel with the meter input to extend or convert the rang...
