(Newswire.net — July 15, 2014) — Riedon specializes in a extensive array of current sensing and shunt solutions. These resisters range from the high demands of automotive environments where Riedon’s CLSA series chip resisters easily comply to AEC-Q200 regulations through their economic MSR series. Thanks to the cutting edge technologies utilizes, Riedon is able to minimize the tolerances for the utmost in precision and confidence. This is evident by their ±1% tolerance resistances from 0.5 milliohms up to 1 ohm in their various package formates can have TCRs as low as ±20ppm/oC and power ratings up to 5 Watts. Reidon can also supply four terminal low ohm power resistors with tolerances as low as ±0.1% for those applications where an axial lead resistor isn’t applicable.
Starting with Riedon’s surface mount applications, the CSR family of
resistors Reidon produces are a metal strip chip for ultra low ohm applications. They produce them in three sizes to cover 1 to 3W applications. Reidon can provide these resistors with values ranging from 0.5mΩ to 15mΩ and can even provide resistors of custom values within the stated range. Taking it even further with their CLS/CLSA series of chip resistors, the alumina substrate Riedon uses allows for such efficient high power dissipation that these chips operate between -55oC to +155oC. Thanks to that wide temperature range, the CLSA parts easily meet the stress test qualifications of the Automotive Engineering Council’s AEC-Q200. For those looking for a resistive solution where conditions aren’t as harsh, Riedon proudly offers their MSR series. The MSR is all welded with a bare metal element designed for through-hole mounting on a circuit board. This resistor provides resistance values spanning 5mΩ to 100mΩ while still keeping a low TCR and inductance less than 10nH. To provide simple solutions for those with varied needs, the MSR resistors come with tolerances of either ±1% or ±5% in 1, 3 and 5W ratings.
As Riedon’s VP of Engineering Phil Ebbert explains; “Current sensing applications insert a low ohmic precision resistor in series with the load current, creating a small voltage drop that can be readily measured and used to calculate the current flowing through the resistor.” What this means for those needing such solutions, is that Reidon’s capability for such precision and low tolerances allow the end user to more accurately, economically and confidently test the systems where these resisters are installed.
