Ohmite MCS1632R020FER Metal Element Current Sense Resistor
The OHMITE MCS1632R020FER is a precision metal element current sense resistor designed for demanding applications in industrial, automotive, and power electronics. Constructed with a resistive alloy (NiCr20AlSi or CuMnNi) on a 96% alumina substrate, this resistor offers excellent thermal dissipation and stability. Its low TCR ensures minimal resistance variation over temperature, while the flame-retardant epoxy coating and conformal protective layer provide robust protection. Typical applications include power supplies, DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, motor controllers, battery chargers, and automotive electronics. The resistor's precision and reliability make it a critical component in these systems.
