TE Connectivity CGS RLC73 series current sense resistors

The CGS RLC73 series current sense resistors is a new range of current sense resistors offered as a low-cost alternative to legacy solutions characterized by noble metal construction (Ag,Pd or RU) and terminations. The TE Connectivity (TE) RLC73 series has the additional benefit of being fully RoHS compliant and features power ratings up to 2W and TCRs down to 50ppm/°C in the high-power version. Furthermore, these resistors satisfy the demand for low ohmic shunt resistors to act as current sensors towards ICs for battery charge management and low voltage power supplies produced by global semiconductor manufacturers.
