10A12-P4-F-M – ADVANCED ENERGY

The 10A12-P4-F-M is a high-precision, surface-mount current sensing resistor designed for high-current applications requiring accurate measurement and low thermal drift. This specific model utilizes a proprietary four-terminal Kelvin sensing architecture (P4) minimizing lead resistance errors, ensuring accuracy within ±0.1% at 25°C. Its nominal resistance is 10 mΩ, with a power rating of 12W, allowing for continuous operation up to 34.6A. The device operates optimally within a voltage range of 0V to 700mV across the sense terminals. Packaged in a compact 1206 size, lead-free, and matte-tin (F-M) finish, it’s ideal for automated placement._x000D_
