Metal foil current sense resistors, providing design engineers with an economical low ohmic value and high quality performance, is suitable for applications in the automotive sector that require high power handling (up to 5W) and low resistance 0.5mΩ.


From a certified supplier offering the automotive quality, Microhm MPR Series gives all round superior performance for current sensing in lamp detection, mirrors, window lift, steering and seat controls.

Thermal conductivity is important for chip resistors - little heat is dissipated directly into the air, and instead, is conducted out through the solder pads. The heat generated from the specially constructed LRC resistor is more readily dispersed, therefore preventing localised heating, which contributes to TCR and thermal EMF errors, premature aging and possible scorching of the PC board.


The current sensing resistors (MPR) are rated for ambient operation from -55°C to +170°C, RoHS compliant and lead free.  High Wattage Rating up to 5W. Low TCR ±50PPM/°C, ±75PPM/°C. Resistance Value 0.5mΩ to 120mΩ. MPR Series fit the applicaiton of DC-DC converter, Charger, Adaptor, NB/MB power management and monitor power management.
