Rolling Meadows, Illinois - December, 2004 - Ohmite Manufacturing Company proudly announces the introduction of a new Current Sense extension to their 10 Series. These axial-lead precision wirewound resistors are specifically designed for low-resistance applications requiring the highest accuracy and temperature stability. This four-terminal version is specially designed for use in a Kelvin configuration, in which a current is applied through two opposite leads and sensing voltage is measured across the other two leads. The four-terminal design also results in a lower temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and lower self-heating drift, which may be experienced on two-terminal resistors.

The 10 Series offers a 1% tolerance standard, low inductance below 0.25 ohms, tinned copper leads, and RoHS compliance. Power ratings of 3, 4.5, and 7 Watts are available as standard items.

These products offer Resistance Ranges from 0.005 to 0.100 ohms standard, with operating temperature from -55°C to +275°C, and exceed the requirements of MIL-PRF-49465.
