Current sense resistor

Ultra low ohm devices used to measure current. Current sense resistors are low resistance precision resistors used to measure AC or DC electrical currents by the voltage drop those currents create across the resistance. Current sense resistors may be produced as low power surface mount devices or high wattage free-air devices. Four terminal thick film kelvin resistors provide separate source and sense leads for precise current sensing applications.
