Panasonic offers a wide variety of thick-film, current-sense resistors (ERJ-B1, B2, xB, xBW, xCW) in a large range of case sizes and in wide terminal types for high solder joint reliability. The ERJ series of current-sense resistors offers power ratings up to 2 W with low ohmic ratings ranging from 5 mΩ to 10 Ω. Panasonic’s thick-film, current-sense resistor portfolio offers a more cost-effective option with high reliability. Panasonic has a wide line of case size options ranging from 0402 to 2512 in conventional terminal and 0612 to 1020 for wide terminal.

• Significant cost savings when compared to metal plate current-sense resistor options
• Can withstand high temperatures in very diverse applications
• Terminals are made of silver resin (soft terminal), which is unique to all Panasonic resistors, that has a composition for high bending and flexibility
• Soft terminal reduces the risk for solder fracturing from thermal cycling
• Wide terminal also provides more surface area to help reduce solder fracturing
