FC4L Series Datasheet

FC4L Four Terminal Current Sense Metal Foil Construction

Res Fc4l  product image

 

Features

  • Foil Construction ensures a very stable TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance)
  • Designed for automatic insertion
  • Industry standard sizes
  • High heat resistant use
  • Low heat electromotive use
  • Color: white (top) and green (bottom)

 

Ohmite offers the low TCR FC4L series in 0.25 watts up to 5 watts and values down to 1 milli-ohm. Great stability is achieved by employing Ni-Cu-Mn resistive element. The FC4L series affords the user an added advantage of a built in 4-terminal design with 2 larger electrodes for current management and 2 smaller electrodes for current measurement.
