TT Electronics OAR Current Sense Resistors

TT Electronics Open Air Resistor (OAR) Current Sense Resistors provide current measurement in circuits where accurate low resistance sensing is required. These metal element resistors are available in tight pitch configurations, with a low inductance below 10nH. The OAR series offers power ratings of 1W, 3W, and 5W at 85°C and operates within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C. These Pb-free resistors find applications in automotive power steering systems and wiper controls.
