Current-sense shunt resistor offers 0.5 milliohm resistance, 3-W power rating
High-efficiency current sensing requires low resistance values. However, lead resistance may cause inaccuracies in sensing measurement for ultra-low resistance values. Four terminal Kelvin connections with separate sense and current flow connections eliminate the detrimental effects of lead resistance yielding a very accurate measurement of the power delivered. Stackpole’s CSSK3637 is a four-terminal device offering resistance […]
High-voltage contactors feature light weight, compact size
TE Connectivity released an additional configuration of its KILOVAC CAP120R contactor. TE’s KILOVAC CAP120R contactor is ideal for defense, marine, UAM (urban air mobility), UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) commercial, and military aerospace applications requiring lightweight latching coils and reduced power consumption. The CAP120R contactor now features a high-voltage latching configuration. The 150-amp DC contactor also includes a […]
