Vishay Intertechnology WSBS8518…20 Power Metal Strip® Battery Shunt Resistor Offers Improved Accuracy, Consistent Contact ...
25 May 2017 - 1:00AM
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today announced a new Power
Metal Strip® battery shunt resistor featuring two sense pins that
offers a 36 W power capacity in the 8518 case size. With extremely
low resistance values down to 50 µΩ, the Vishay Dale
WSBS8518...20 increases accuracy and lowers costs compared with
Hall Effect current sensing solutions, while its sense pins assist
in PCB mounting and provide consistent contact point location.
The device released today features a proprietary processing
technique that produces extremely low resistance values of 50 µΩ,
100 µΩ, 125 µΩ, and 250 µΩ. These low values allow for more
accurate data to determine battery charge and discharge, thus
helping designers meet specific customer battery management
requirements for applications in gas, diesel, hybrid, and electric
cars and trucks, as well as electric forklifts, UPS systems, and
other heavy industrial applications.
The WSBS8518...20 features a solid metal manganese-copper alloy
resistive element with low TCR (± 20 ppm/°C) and a welded terminal
to element connection. The resistor offers low inductance values of
< 5 nH, low thermal EMF down to < 1 µV/°C, and an operating
temperature range of -65 °C to +170 °C. The device is
RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
Samples and production quantities of the WSBS8518...20 are
available now, with a lead time of 10 to 12 weeks for larger
orders.
