Bourns CRN series metal thick film resistors

Bourns is pleased to announce the release of the new CRN series, a low ohmic solution for thick film resistors engineered for precise current sensing and low voltage power applications.

The Bourns® CRN series is available in compact size, offering power ratings up to 2W and resistance values from 47mΩ to 10Ω. Utilizing a metal based resistance element layer instead of traditional carbon based film, the CRN series ensures lead-free construction and is RoHS compliant*.

The CRN series supports an operating temperature range from –55°C to +155°C. The series has been qualified against IEC 60115-1 test requirements for overload, operational life, solder heat, solderability, and board flex. With its balance of low resistance values, high power density, and environmental compliance, the CRN series offers a durable and cost-efficient solution for electronic designs.
