For current sensing applications, metal strip (metal alloy) resistors provide a more robust technology than thick film and thin film devices. Both thin film and thick film resistor technologies need a ceramic substrate for support.
Power Metal Strip technologies are quite different from thick film or thin film technologies since it is an exciting-metal welded construction that's thick enough to become self-supporting (there's no substrate). It's because the big current transporting mass of the bulk alloy, which supplies greater surge capacity. The ability of power handling capacity offers greater power rating and/or extended really low resistance ranges.
In fast electrical transients such as mechanical switch closures or battery plug-in, the pulse capability of the resistor is limited to the amount of heat energy that causes a temperature rise in the resistor element. The more massive resistor element of the power metal strip device will have less temperature rise for the same pulse energy, which translates to superior pulse withstanding capability.
Unlike other manufacturers of metal element current sense resistors, DeMint (LRE) metal strip chip resistors design for applications that require high power handling (Up to 5W) and low resistance values from 0.25mΩ to 1Ω at ±50 ppm/°C; and come with a range of advantages including a wide temperature range and a varied choice of wide range package sizes 0805/1206/2010/2512/2725/2728/2817/4527 with high current capability.
DeMint (LRE) series enable a wide range of design options and flexibility allows designers to specify the resistance value and tolerance that their circuits require, instead of designing their circuits to the resistance values available. At the same time, DeMint Electronics also offers AEC-Q200 Automotive Grade (LREA) specifications by extending (LRE) series for vehicle applications such as electronic controls (anti-lock brakes, audio electronics, engine and transmission controls, climate controls, etc.).
DeMint Electronics delivers the right chip for your low range, current-sense applications.
