The Current Sensing Resistors Series is a tailored for both automotive and consumer electronics markets and numerous applications, including:
- Automotive electronics
- Electric vehicles, including 2- and 3-wheelers
- Home appliances
- Consumer electronics
- Industrial automation
“Our customers include industry leaders in automotive and consumer electronics, who require precise current and voltage monitoring for their advanced technologies,” says Stephen Li, Product Manager for Littelfuse. “To address these needs, the CSR family provides a more cost-effective solution than competing technologies like Hall Effect sensors, current transformers, flux gate sensors (DC only), and Rogowski coils (AC only). Additionally, CSRs work in AC and DC circuits without requiring additional power or equipment to enable measurement.”
The CSR Series offers the following features:
- Cost-effective, compact solution
- Current measurement
- Voltage monitoring
- Power control
- Overcurrent protection
The new Littelfuse CSR family of products extends the company’s circuit protection solutions portfolio, deepening its current and voltage monitoring focus. Each of the eight CSRs is either a metal foil, metal strip, or metal plate resistor used for measuring currents in circuits due to its high precision and low resistance rating.
Availability
The Current Sensing Resistors (CSR) Series are available in tape-and-reel quantities of 5,000. Place sample requests through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide. For a listing of Littelfuse distributors, visit Littelfuse.com.
